Nice try Zoltan, but thanks to the 5th Dimension post-1953 Constructed Lines Rules, nobody is allowed to say Dollis Hill for as many letters there are in the station that the person following it uses, and as that is me, I choose...

Paddington

Clever try, Nick, but you have forgotton the 1989 Hammersmith & City Line splitter rule, which allows a bipolar reversal using the tubechallenge rules of 2004 for a Euston Square run - which means you've opened the door for Mornington Crescent.

Bad move, bad move alert!!!!

The Northern Line flypast London Bridge rebuild move of 1999 states that you should always visit Euston after Chalk Farm.

So, my move is Baker Street, if we consider that you are using the King George rules.

But what if he weren't? In that case surely we must move to West Kensington?

What rules are these? Is there an official rule book as stipulated must be required by John Humphries.

Samantha won't be very pleased.

But, anyway, we have just stuck ourselves in Dollis Hill for a while - but fortunately due to the major delays currently on the Metropolitan Line, I can take a triple bypass manoever via a RRB connection over to

Yes I can.

The Dollis Hill loop rules state that: -
1 - if there are delays on any line that passes through or serves Dollis Hill then an instant move to Mornington Crescent can be made, with a reasonable reason made.
2 - if there are no delays, then you are stuck in the Dollis Hill loop for up to 10 moves.

Oh, no you can't TC. Take it like a man. That rule is rarely used as the existence of delays can't be proved.

TBH I don't think we all ahve a complete rulebook. There amy be some translated editions but their validity is questionable. The best thing is to start working through the stations randomly and we'll could correct you if you are wrong.
