    Stovold’s defense (2nd revision)is available after the first round. Monuments score double. Anything on the black line for more than two turns will put you in nib. I’ll start:

    Stovoid’s was banned under the Rushton ruling of ’79.
    Let’s keep this amongst ourselves, eh?

    But, if you insist, Watford Hospital.
    Not built yet obviously, but you will play dangerously.

    Double up and apply Walsh’s 3rd variation ? Think that gets you there.

    Isn’t Walsh’s 3rd variation open to being quashed when Baker Street is the station of origin?

    Where were we, Baker Street?
    In that case Hatton Cross, Kings Cross, Charing Cross! Ha!

    Don’t be daft, you’ve triple crossed yourself – illegal under the 2nd revision.
    Now take all your clothes off and stand in the corner.

    Baker St – Ickenham.

    Get out of that and stay fashionable.

    Sorry, didn’t read the OP properly! Didn’t realise we were using Stovold’s defense.
    I’m more used to playing Morningside Crescent in Edinburgh, still struggling a bit with the London rules.
    .
    Is Ickenham to Moorgate allowed?

    Pretty much the same, but you never look your opponents in the eye and pretend to read your paper if a fight breaks out.

    does the crossrail addendum apply yet? if so, canary wharf.

    edit: you can’t get to limehouse until a speke’s elbow has been played.

    Ah but Limehouse was ruled exempt from Speke’s after a contentious 2009 challenge!

    I didn’t like 2009. Too many changes brought in by the radicals. Like 20:20 cricket

    And I hope that we’re not allowing DLR anyway – things went downhill after that ruling. I still reckon there was something underhand about it all – big money I reckon.

    Ooh, MC, can I join in from a branch line please?

    I’ll take an inverse shunt from Northfields to Elephant & Castle. Diagonals are now wild (as you all know).

    I’m more used to playing Morningside Crescent in Edinburgh, still struggling a bit with the London rules.

    I believe the Edinburgh Defence is still valid here, though.

    Bugger. I wanted to go to Goodge Street!
    .
    Not much of a choice now really, I pretty much have to go to Kilburn.
    Yes, I know technically I could have Picadilly, but that would be a bit of a daft move.

    Oxford Street? Allowed, but not a winning move…. it’s after 3.30.

    A double sideways blag to Tooting Beck should confuse a few though.
