certainly, I think I will play my Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3 I trust thats a valid Swan?

Sadly not. Rules state that when a station in Essex is called, there can be no LUL stations until one outside Essex has been called.

Woldingham

I'm going to chance a daft Ryde St. Johns Road, but it may be a delayed ding dong!

 

[OxtedL]

That means I can head straight back to Angel...

 

[Anon Mouse]

or Highbury and Islington?

 

[OxtedL]

Either.

 

[Flamingo]

Well, it's getting fast and furious now, though more furious than fast!

Following on from an Angel (either), I think that I will do a vertical approach on
Seven Sisters

 

[Anon Mouse]

Boring! I suspect I can do a North of LuL deviation and hazard a Welwyn Garden City

 

[Flamingo]

You can try! Enjoy Nidd (you might even end up in Spoon, if you are doubly unlucky!)

 

[OxtedL]

I will pin with a Chancery Lane.

 

[Flamingo]

Good move. I haven't seen a pin on that move since McCrolerely in the 1987 Swiss Challenge Tournament.

 

[ollyrogers]

That's a very good move. But I'm bored of napping and will return to subvert a lateral to Hounslow Central

 

[OxtedL]

I nominate a Vice-Squitter...

 

[ollyrogers]

Would you care to nominate a station for your Vice-Squitter?

 

[OxtedL]

I'm looking to do it by proxy.

 

[RyanB]

Shunting down to Vauxhall

 

[OxtedL]

Thank ya, I'll just pocket that...

 

[RyanB]

what do you mean pocket that?

 

[ollyrogers]

He's playing Devonshire Variant, which allows you to pocket moves after Bermondsey has been Nidded. It's a much overlooked clause but perfectly legal (although frowned upon in regular play)

 

[RyanB]

I'm playing the Kelvin variant, pocketing of moves is only legal after Ealing Broadway has been pocketed which can only be pocketed after Bermondsey has been pocketed AND nidded. Then there is the Pythagoras clause, which makes it a whole lot more complicated which is rarely ever used because it's pointless.

Good morning all, since OxtedL pocketed my move under Devonshire variant rules, I'll make my move to

Waterloo

 

[ollyrogers]

Well... I'm stuck in a rut now. Hampstead is the obvious reverser move so... Hampstead?

 

[RyanB]

Nice little reversal there, now for a Maxwellian launching move to Stockwell.

 

[Flamingo]

Green Park You all know why.

 

[RyanB]

Walthamstow Central

 

[OxtedL]

Could this mean... Shepherd's Bush Market ...

 

[Mvann]

Hammersmith.

 

[ollyrogers]

Hammersmith.

Can't see what that move achieves, it's just got us stuck in the Dollis Hill Loop. Thanks...

Dollis Hill

Preston Road

 

[OxtedL]

Who said Hammersmith?!

Bah! Marylebone...
