Mornington Crescent rides again

[ComeIntoTheGardenMaud]

To nobody’s surprise, the frantic pace of this latest game means that the last thread is full and (as far as I can see) <polishes lorgnette> we don’t yet have a successor. So, off we go with a Brunswick Lateral to

Russell Square

Never mind Maud's opinion, let's go east to Moorgate.

I am an old lady in my twilight years, so my opinion counts for little.

Clapham South

If you are an old lady in your twilight years then your opinion, in my eyes, carries more weight than most.

RUSSELL SQUARE

I remember Russell’s last film. I saw its premiere near Piccadilly Circus.

Gonzo, you are so kind. I too am fond of cinematic entertainment, so will hasten to

Leicester Square

`Oh you fool(music) , you don't know what you've done. We'll meet of coourse but it will be so intense, Leicester Square - where it all happened all those years ago. But this time we won't kiss, you won't be mine, you won't give up your safe accountant with his surburban house and home - it could all have been so different, it could all have been so District Line.

Leicester Square (tears in my eyes)

I hope tears have been dried and so we can move to Holborn.

Leicester Square twice? Such play is either inspired or lunacy, depending on your interpretation of the rules. The colonel tried it once in the finals in Tangiers in ‘78 and spent the rest of the tournament in Nidd.

Lancaster Gate

I think it’s inspired, albeit a highly dangerous move. But I have long been an admirer of the colonel’s, at a respectful distance.

Mile End

I've been mulling this over for a while and in view of Maud's (and mine) advanced years I think a backward traverse to Old Street would be appropriate

Tricky, as Hazel has played an open variation of what looks like the Southwark method and to avoid passing at a scondary tangent, with KLAFF already invoked and Mortimers opening ignored for the first ten moves, as the current overboard player I think my only way forward is

ELEPHANT AND CASTLE

I like your style, Gonzo.

Denmark Hill

I think in honour of the Brunel family a move to Wapping. Neither dad or his more famous son lived long enough to play the game of games, though many a move has been made to a station they created.

Good thought, Llyn. I’ve long had a hankering for the name Isambard. Probably just as well I don’t have boys.

London Bridge

Let’s tour the landmarks of London. I dare say we might find a nice bar or two or three nearby.

Tower Hill

Museums are part of the landmarks and several are to be found near South Kensington.

The architecture of this station is truly wonderful Westminster

I have an urge to revisit the magnificent glasshouses at

Kew Gardens

Oh Maud, actually yes, let's enjoy the gardens, they're magnificent, wonderful, enchanting and while you're dreaming there - HAHA - I'll slip away and race unhindered while you're off the board back into town

TEMPLE !!!!! (which closes four diagonals) smell the flowers baby...

Via the walking interchange and closed lines rules, Aldwych.

I see what you’re trying to do, Gonzo, but LlynTegid has put a stop to your nonsense.

Euston Square

After much consideration I think the only way, taking all these recent moves into account, is to go to Tottenham Court Road

Time for the Elizabeth line rule to take us to Romford.

Let’s stay with the regal theme:

Kings Cross

I have to veer to North London Kentish Town
