Mornington Crescent

[Buttsy]

You're Barking trying that lateral slip.

 

[RyanB]

Implementing the 1946 RailUK Mortimer variation for a thrashing over to Angel

 

[causton]

I'm going to be risky (ha! of course I know it'll work!) Section 5 move to... Parsons Green!

 

[exile]

Using my time travel card to get to Muswell Hill.

 

[tony_mac]

Is that forwards or backwards?

Either way, I think Hammersmith is a sufficient interchange to block your plans.

 

[me123]

Marble Arch is a negative contralateral, so that should bring us back with a bang - under Williamson's 1943 ruling, anyone who is currently North of Baker Street is now in Knidd :razz:

 

[OxtedL]

Oh blast, k-nidd?!!!!

 

[Mvann]

Somebodies Waterloo then.

 

[Buttsy]

Bu**er! I'm in Wath-in-Nidderdale, and you can't get more in Nidd that that!

 

[Deerfold]

Bu**er! I'm in Wath-in-Nidderdale, and you can't get more in Nidd that that!

Wath's that? Speak up a bit.

Looks like my time in Nidd is up, so


Fulham Broadway


(anyone fancy a bit of Broadway hopping?)

 

[DarloRich]

Ealing Broadway

I contest the last move. It violates Jeremy Swithens amendment of rule 126.6. which abolished the use of the broad gauge. The violation leads to porridge in Holloway Road.

Samantha enjoyed this move, playing with the inmates balls 'n chains.

[Buttsy]

No no no, that equation = Arsenal, not Gunnersbury

 

[Nigel Gresley]

I'm afraid that that last move to the "home of defeat" means going back 3 spaces

to Kings Cross & St Pancras

 

[Buttsy]

Acton Town

 

[Deerfold]

Acton Town

Took a while, but good move.


Perivale.

 

[EM2]

Didn't realise we had a game going on RailUK!
I'm going to try that excellent move that we all remember from the 1998 Kuala Lumpar Invitational Semi-Final, between Whapp-Caplet and Spong.

Arnos Grove

 

[OxtedL]

...Highbury & Islington...

 

[Buttsy]

Caledonian Road & Barnsbury

 

[DarloRich]

Kings Cross

 

[Deerfold]

Moorgate

 

[AlterEgo]

Dollis Hill! :mad:

 

[Deerfold]

Neasden

 

[tony_mac]

I know, I'm a mug for playing this, but....

Wembley Park

 

[AlterEgo]

No, no, it's actually not such a bad move.

Although you've let me in for a reverse shunting move to Chesham. I'll take a green token.

 

[ollyrogers]

No, no, it's actually not such a bad move.

Although you've let me in for a reverse shunting move to Chesham. I'll take a green token.

Whoa there...

 

[Eagle]

–Dad, I'm in Great Portland Street.

–I'm proud of you, son.

–Dad, are you Great Portland Street?

–Yes, son. Now we are a family again.

Did you know Harold Pinter was a fine purveyor of Mornington Crescent and used it in a number of his plays. Here is an excerpt from The Go-Between:

- Summer in Hampstead.
(pause)
- Yes, indeed, summer.
(pause)
- One wonders if one is going to play or not?
(pause)
- Oh!, right, sorry, Hampstead you say?
(pause)
- Yes, Hampstead.
(pause)
- What rules are w playing to?
(pause)
- Rules? Lipman's of course you fool.
(pause)
- Ah! Lipman's...What did you say again? Hampstead?
(pause)
- Yes, Hampstead. Come on, get on with it, I haven't got all day.
(pause)
- This will take some thinking about...(longer pause) Pinner.
(pause)
- You can't do that under Lipman's you fool.
(pause)
- Hampstead you said?

Accordingly my move is Hampstead

 

[OxtedL]

A sub-trilateral swivel is required at some point soon, I fear.
