Smethwick Rolfe Street and victory

How do you do it Robinson?

 

[Robinson]

No idea; I'd only just got back in as well!
Slightly surprised no one else had got in there first...

OK the next one will kick off from Farringdon.

 

[Temple Meads]

Hang on, does anything go on the avoiding line to Langley Green?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Have I made the biggest mistake of my life on missing out on all these points by "temporarily" leaving this quiz to answer a "wrong number" and putting "deleted" ?

Nope.

EDIT - Well, they do, but they run non-stop.

 

[Robinson]

What avoiding line is this? Have I missed something?

If I'd known...
Sorry, that was slightly unsporting of me...

The curve still in use from Smethwick Rolf St-Langley Green used used regularly until the 1990s and closure of Smethwick West.

Is there not a London Midland service from Stratford-upon-Avon which passes through there, having already called at the Smethwick station that was named

Nope, having checked only one BHM-CDF and return train a day (M-F) uses it, first stop Cheltenham (I think) after New St.

Right, we go through an hour of waiting for Wolverhampton so I could take us to Crewe (and away from any crafty victory spots), no one posts, probably because no one wanted to give up their say on where we went next. I refresh the page periodically waiting for a reply, I go to the loo, come back and we've not only been to Wolverhampton, we've been past it and Robinson's snuck in and taken the win.

Not happy. At all.

City Thameslink

 

[Class172]

Blackfriars is closed so we shall skip it and go to Elephant & Castle.

 

[gnolife]

Loughborough Junction

Thought it was only the Underground station that was closed...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

If so....Herne Hill

 

[Robinson]

If the rail station is also closed, then Tulse Hill.

If it's only the Underground station that's closed, then Class172's move was invalid, so the game will have to be brought back to City Thameslink.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Blackfriars NR is open, so back to City Thameslink we go.

 

[Ivo]

Blackfriars then...

Seriously, how the Hell did you guys get from Walthamstow to Smethwick via pretty much everywhere in the southern half of England?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Is Elephant and Castle the next one?

 

[Robinson]

It is now.

That's 3 valid moves so I can post Loughborough Junction.

Herne Hill

Tulse Hill

Streatham Hill

 

[Robinson]

Streatham Hill

What service is this? I can't find a direct service on this line calling at these 2 stations, having just checked...

I can't find any either, it's a non-stop PSUL AFAIK.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I meant to say Streatham (GL)...the "Hill" in Tulse Hill just stuck in my mind. Apologies to all concerned... I will retire to the nearest dark corner of the forum in shame :roll:

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Streatham Common

Once walked between those two, quite a nice area
