A little Mornington Crescent - anyone care to join in?

I just fancy a change of focus.

I'll jump right in with Great Portland Street - I think I'm entitled to do that, with it being beyond the autumn equinox, but before Halloween?

Any takers?

It's wonderful to see such well thought out moves (and thank you for reassuring me that you were totally in the clear, DowntownTrout). ComeIntoTheGardenMaud - personally I prefer the overground not to be in play - and although there is an r in the month I think that the 14th Revision of the Crescent Concordat page 47, paragraph 2.5 does hint (well to be honest it is more than hint) that having an r in the month does not always over-ride other considerations.

Sloane Square (without double shunting) to consolidate our current position.

been listening to the radio?

Perhaps I was subconsciously influenced by dear Kenton's nuptials on the Archers.

Oh and do call me Maud, as we are all friends here even when playing the notorious Bradley-Worthington manoeuvre.

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 03/11/2013 19:19

I can't disagree, toaster.

I think Dagenham Heathway (see the 1996 Ambleside Treaty) is my best next move.

flamingtoaster · 03/11/2013 19:53

Thank you Maud (one doesn't like to presume these things).

Headless - I am glad you concur. I was going to suggest Elephant and Castle, but since it is cloudy here and I can't see exactly what phase the moon is in, I'll play safe with Highgate.

The Cammell-Laird Interpretation of the Overground Regulations subsection 11 c leads me to throw the board wide open with Barking.

PigletJohn · 03/11/2013 20:14

ha! then i have the synchronicity to straddle to Cockfosters!

flamingtoaster · 03/11/2013 20:15

Woodside Park

Inertia · 03/11/2013 20:20

PigletJohn 's audacious yet delicate Cockfosters Straddle puts me in Nidd. A move Ninja-like in its execution.

KippyVonKipperson · 03/11/2013 20:20

Maud: amazing move there, I'd totally forgotten you could do that.
Hmmm, I'm going to have to go for Green Park

DowntonTrout · 03/11/2013 20:21

Fraid not *Pigletjohn" your synchronicity has left you stranded. Cockfisters has already been straddled this round.

Extremewife · 03/11/2013 20:23

I am going to Swan over to Canary Wharf

DowntonTrout · 03/11/2013 20:23

Cockfisters ?

Oh my, there's a Freudian slip if ever I saw one.

PigletJohn · 03/11/2013 20:25

no, that was not a Straddle, but a Reverse Transitional Traverse.

You could hardly straddle all the way from Northolt!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/11/2013 20:27

::Smiles graciously at KippyVonKipperson::

Wow. Some of these moves are positively demonic in their cunning. No Sunday concessions here!

Parsons Green.

DowntonTrout · 03/11/2013 20:27

Ouch. There is only one thing for it

I'm going down the Mudchute.

I may be sometime....

Curioustiger · 03/11/2013 21:44

I see matters have taken a turn for the worse. In an attempt to reintroduce decorum I feel compelled to suggest Royal Oak.

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 03/11/2013 21:44

Cockfisters

I'm using Middle Semester Rules and ignoring the obvious move in favour of a downshifting prink...

Galleon's Reach.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/11/2013 21:46

Well, then, it has to be

Cutty Sark

DowntonTrout · 03/11/2013 22:32

It's Sunday 2nd November at 22.32, that can only mean one thing. Ding dong.

Westminster.

DowntonTrout · 03/11/2013 22:36

3rd, it's the 3rd.

I must be somewhere else entirely!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/11/2013 22:38

Aldgate East

PigletJohn · 03/11/2013 22:49

With Aldgate East being so shallow, this is the perfect time for me to rebound back to the Deep Loop.

Clapham Common.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/11/2013 22:51

Masterful, PigletJohn.

I'll invoke the South London Nexus
