THE Mornington Crescent Thread

[NDA]

I assume now it's 2015 that I'm allowed back in the game under the 'Cheam Shunting' rules?

[Ginetta G15 Girl]

Hmm January looks both ways...


Greenford.

[marshalla]

Barons Court.

[oilslick]

Interesting move, let's go west a little.

Turnham Green.

[DickyC]

Osterley.

[brickwall]

Double points eh?

Southfields.

[Willy Nilly]

Earls Court

[Fer]

Earl's Court? I am afraid that under the 1909 "Translocational functions in an ordered, closed system" this is not a valid move. I suggest you look to the Anglo-French Post Nepolianic [sic] rule book, and call Hainault.

[marshalla]

The 1909 rules were repealed in 1908 (immediately post-publication) and wouldn't apply on a mainline fare change day anyway. Are you some sort of revisionist ? I bet you'll try to play the Emirates bypass at some point.

Let's get this game back to some semblance of order with a nice sensible traditional move straight out of the beginner's guide : Green Park.

[oilslick]

As we're approaching the French holiday of Épiphanie I'm invoking Mornington Croissant rules - Gare du Nord.

[DickyC]

Gare du Nord? Are you mad? Forty five minutes queuing for a taxi? I should cocoa. Where's the sense in that?

Get ye to St Pancras.

Kings Cross / St Pancras to be pedantic.

[brickwall]

Invoking the HS1 swap rule, Waterloo.

[iva cosworth]

Using the far Western Buckinghamshire ruling.......Amersham.

[Vocal Minority]

Obvious lateral block is obvious - Embankment

[Fer]

Embankment, this time of night, you're having a larf.

Oval and be damned.

[ManFromDelmonte]

Having waited the mandatory 250 days since the last move (I won't insult your intelligence by explaining the necessity or relevance of this) it seems I have one obvious move and one that is a bit of a gamble.

As I'm feeling adventurous, I'm going get out the old Diagonal Thrift Shuffle and move straight to Spitalfields Market.

[angry jock]

"Doffs Hat"

My my a bold move indeed sir. Reminds me of the Great Break of 1774 when Bufty Stokes fell off the platform trying a reverse bi-fold shunt.

Bank.

[marshalla]

In preparation for tonight's salute - Gunnersbury.

'Twas a lovely town...until I moved there utilising the little known Holmer Green upscale.

I have no idea if I'm doing this right.

Quainton.

Verney Junction you might just have got away with, but for interruption play, Baker Street, and be grateful.
