The Rules said:
At the start of a game, the OP(at the very beginning or if necessary) or the player who previously ended a leg of the journey, will choose a starting station (unless the player has called an open floor, in which any player can choose a starting station) that adheres to the following criteria:

It is on NR rails (or Merseyrail)
It is not just a terminal station (There are two or more different stations that can be reached from it, on separate lines.)
It is not the same station as the one which ended the previous leg.

...as starting stations. There is nothing saying my move onto the Bakerloo Line is invalid. Of course, if I started at Kilburn Park, however, it would be. Additionally, a NR station name isn't necessary. It says only to use the NR name if one is provided.

Right, time to sort this out, once and for all. As the person who drew up this quiz in 2011 with adtrainz after the beta version of "Sugar Loaf" was found to have too many imponderables, INCLUDING the formulation of the rules, I need no reminding of what the rules as now printed on the very first posting on this quiz actually state. especially with regard to National Rail stations.

No-one else but you regards London Underground stations WITHOUT any National Rail involvement status of seeing National Rail services using this station as being valid. I hereby state that your posting of Kilburn Park does NOT meet the requirements of this quiz, despite your somewhat meaningless addition of "starting stations" as that named station was NOT the starting station of a new leg.

There are NO National Rail services that call at the London Underground station of Kilburn Park. Once again, I ask that you strike through your posting of Kilburn Park.

This is the third time in 36 hours that I have had to make matters of adjudication on this quiz, as the other two senior quiz adjudicators, clagmonster and Buttsy have not been online to do so.

We've already had Berrylands, I think...
I'm just looking at this. As far as I can see, the game went round the Kingston Roundabout, then Norbiton, New Malden, Raynes Park, Motspur Park and on. I see no Berrylands entry. I shall have a look again, then check the timetable as I'm not sure it was a winner anyway.

As far as I can see, I have won, so the next game will start at Berwick-upon-Tweed.
