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

South of the river on a Wednesday? That is a bold move. Let's go via Bank with the DLR rule to Canning Town.

A cheeky Angel feels appropriate here

All I can say is Blackhorse Road!

In which case,

Ickenham

The walking interchange rule gets us to the Central line and down to Notting Hill Gate.

Now the Colonel always gets grumpy when the walking interchange rule is used and I have to say I agree with him. I know its technically correct but it just doesn't seem in the spirit of the game somehow?

That aside, a straightforward Longitudinal Leap takes us to Green Park

I'm going to retreat to Turnpike Lane

Hmm. On the last Friday evening of the month, we have to pass through

Balham

Gateway to the South??
I feel that Putney Bridge is far more appropriate, you don't want to end up in Nidd!!

Very much so, HazelBite!

Tower Bridge

I went past Mornington Crescent tube station on my way to Heathrow. I was strangely excited lol!

May be pushing the boundaries with this move, but what the heck: St Paul's.

Do you allow international rules with it being a Saturday? I can see an obvious move to Dhoby Ghaut. If not then one stop to Chancery Lane.

The non-stations rule takes us back to Putney Bridge, from where I move to West Brompton.

@BashfulClam for about ten years I used to go on the Northern line between Camden Town and Embankment past a certain station.

I’m always keen on the international dimension. After all, some of the legendary sessions of the game of games, which changed its course forever, took place in the back room of a notably seedy bar in Montmartre. In homage to which,

Abbesses

@LlynTegid the London system is a mystery to me as I live in Glasgow. I used citymapper when I was in London.

As you are going all "international" all I can offer is Temple (although the London station is not always open on a Saturday, don't know about the Parisian one)

Blackfriars to start this month off.

@BashfulClam the Glasgow subway is no mystery but not for those of above average height!

Moving to Mansion House.

It’s taken me a long time to figure this out, but my reading of R v Parkinson leads me to think my next move has to be

Stratford

I think you are being overly cautious there Maud, personally I would go with Elephant and Castle

Ah, yes. That is more progressive - I’d overlooked the significance of Mansion House. I’ll try to do better now with

Charing Cross

The closed line rule gets me on the Jubilee line to Kilburn.

Using the 1926 rules allows the unusual move to Ealing Broadway.

The 1926 rules were commonly used at one point and it is nice to see them revived.

Ealing Common is a more conventional move though.
