Seeing as how I've spent most of this week looking at fitting 2 Heavy Duty Metro escalators with an inclined lift inside a sprayed concrete shaft - I'll go for Royal Oak.
pfft, on that basis I'm using the 1815 Convention to go straight through to Waterloo
Are we stacking the perpendicular?
of course
In that case, Goodge Street. The hard way.
The Hon. Mr Justice Tugendhat (Queen's Bench Division) recently ruled against that I'm sure.
So, Brent Cross.
I'm jumping at least two diagonals to avoid nip. I'm adding in the Rapture Transactional rules since today we're due to all die or something.
Therefore Kings Cross.
Green Park. Obviously.
Just a rule clarification,
Not sure about this result. The 1862 addendum to the Hailstone process, and I quote, ' a player following a directional move with any station on the jubilee line is placed in Nidd
I believe my esteemed colleague is confusing Nidd with Knipp. Had play been in Knipp then absolutely, you lose turns. Nidd in this context merely means that the Bakerloo line is out of bounds for a single turn (unless you're carrying a purple token of course). The MC claim is valid, and continued play is correct.
So. Green Park. I see what you did there, but I'm not falling for that. Shunt to Acton.
Acton to......uxbridge. Just to provide some sporting challenge.
Let's see who the real players are now......
I've waited years for this sequence of plays.... 😀
All change!
Tooting Broadway.
Upney
Well, seeing as he's just done a tenor sax solo - Stepney Green.
The Web Ellis Jump allows us to visit either nation on the weekend of the final, so we're off to Saint-Lazare which gives many options for the more experienced left handed users of the Metro.
Richelieu-Drouot.
Bonne chance!
Four lane ends.
Tricky move their, I'm pretty sure I can counter that with..........Saint Lazare.
Right.
Enough of this tomfoolery & sideways nonsense.
It's the express from Dover on a SuperSaverSpecial.
hang on, that's clearly triangulation - bond street

Four lane ends.
The Tyneside gambit.
This calls for surgical precision.....
Harley Street
Chalfont St Giles.
should have gone via harley street too
Hmmm. Bank.
I know on a Saturday too.
But this IS a game for grown-ups so deal with it.
Arsenal by proxy
Jumper on the track leads me back to Arsenal.
Extra move to me, invoking Hooper's Mainline Variation.
I reckon.... Lancaster Gate, which should just about welly paulsoxo back out to Croxley unless someone objects.
Chorleywood.
All together now: "mind the gapp!"
Erm, if I'm not completely mistaken, and via the barnstaple juxtaposition put into play by flashy's chalfont diversion...
can I say, ahem, mornington crescent?
edit: no. amateurish. I'm in nidd. dagnammit.
I was just about to say, Pook, you really shouldn't just make up rules. Good edit.
Grange Hill.
You're forgetting the DLR extension.
Mornington Crescent.
I don't recall the Hapsburg Convention having been invoked?
Surely the best you could hope for is a Cross Blocker, with pedestrianised areas counting triple?
Cougar, sorry to urinate (and defecate) on your chips, but I think you'll find, that the DLR has already bin mentioned... 8)
In which case, I'm afraid I'm going to have to invoke the Abbey Mills directive, which clearly states that 'Contravention of the Neasden Treaty of 1918, knowingly or otherwise, will result in the move being declared null and void, and carry the penalty of a five-move suspension for the player attemtpting such a move'.
Sorry, but I don't make the rules, I just enforce them. 😐
I'm going to take advantage of a points failure at Earls Court to make a neat segue to Colindale. 🙂
Damn and blast. Of course.
As I'm playing in Jordan and the dead sea is already 400m below sea level I assume essential maintenance on the down escalator at Oxford Circus will not affect my move; so I'm going for King Hussein Street.
I was going to make my next move West Bank, but I see that's disputed.......
Very droll Angus but dont you know that by virtue of The Egypt/Sinai Accord that move IS allowed after 4pm on Saturday..
So..
The next step obviously is Beirut Central via the new light rail extension.
TA DA!
(this is so silly)
right, I've looked carefully (and I'm only a beginner, so go easy) but I think, with luck you can get from Beruit central to Malta high street via the overnight (see Hanson's Eastern Edition to confirm) which I think (if I've read right) means I can do a shunt to Dover....
Is that right?

Almost...
*whispers* Heathrow T4
Very nice move for a novice emsz. Bravo!
Ebbsfleet.
Slow down Captain. Let's just welcome emsz into the fold. For a complete beginner that is a rather accomplished move.
You need to learn in the deep end. I reckon she'll cope.
I think you should take a penalty there CFH, 3 moves..& you get to make the Tea..Thats a harsh play for young'un..some have been scarred for life dealing with that kind of mental dexterity..
No offence emsz please but CFH has been a bit of a brute there I feel..
Ooh, hang on, hang on a minute! 😯
That's what's known in Footie as a 'professional foul'. Emsz has played an absolute [i]peach[/i] of a move there, stunning. Then Flashy pulls out an Ebbsfleet. That's ungentlemanly conduct right there. Sheesh.
Flashy, well, I'm surpised at you, I really am. I expected better from you, quite frankly. 😐
Sorry, but I'm afraid you forfeit the game for that. I'm sure everyone will agree with me.
Right, to get things back onto an even keel; [b]Lebanon Road[/b] via Croydon Tramlink.
[i]That's[/i] how it should be played, Flashy. Watch and learn... 😉
Lebanon Road. Like it. Subtle. Deft even..
Hmm..
Its a sideways move required to get out of that one & no mistake..
