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

Nicely done, Maud.

London Fields

Why, thank you kindly, DuckOnABike. Let us continue to the bosky enclave of

Oakwood

Lovely!

Gospel Oak, i fancy...

I'm being cautious here Manor House??

I'll move back to Finsbury Park

That cunning move was certainly worthy of such long deliberation, LlynTegid. I think I can extricate myself by means of a Long Pilkington to

Finchley Road

I'm going for the easy option here Preston Road

sharp intake of breath

Barnesbury.

Wincing slightly. Have I been too ambitious?

A sharp Nijinsky should work if anyone has a spare wild card...

No, no, I think that’s fine, although it has put the southbound Piccadilly line into knockings [Consolidated Rules, 2018 edition, appendix 11]. At the moment, it has to be

Wimbledon

Phew! Thanks @ComeIntoTheGardenMaud

If you're going with Wimbledon I feel I can only counter with St. Johns Wood
These recent moves are very complicated, but very well thought out!

You’re too kind, HazelBite. Let’s stay with the sporting motif, by means of a lateral demi-shunt to

Arsenal

Very athletic play this afternoon. I’m going to try and keep it going with a Flying Fuck to Finsbury Park.

Incidentally, I remember one of those causing a lot of trouble in one of the initial heats at the nationals in Birmingham in 1987. The Colonel took great offence and refused to believe it was a technical term. The Archbishop had to take him outside to calm him down.

The non existent station rule comes into play, taking us back to the move before, which was Preston Road. Four moves back seems a lot but is nowhere near that of the 1977 tournament when Muswell Road instead of Muswell Hill was played under the closed stations rule.

From Preston Road it is a move to Ruislip Manor then.

I’m flummoxed by your argument there, LlynTegid, but will sail on serenely to

Gallions Reach

Oh lord I'm awfully confused now!
Can I tentatively suggest Seven Sisters

Yes, the game has taken a confusing turn. I’m hoping we can make a new start with a simple end of line move to Walthamstow Central.

Naturally, I shall now play Penhaligon’s Perpendicular to

Brixton

I will make it simple and move to Stockwell.

I dread ending up In Nidd so I'm being cautious too... Euston

I'm not going to go very far here Great Portland Street

I won’t explain why. If you know, you know.

East Acton

I think I do, so North Acton.

I can only counter with Willesden Green!
