The next station is...!

[Robinson]

I've been away from this thread for a few days, must have lost a lot of ground

So have I, so you won't have lost much ground on me, although STKKK46 has racked up a few good wins and looks set to crank up the pressure at the top of the table...

 

[Eagle]

Ardwick, but we've already had a 3-hour penalty :cry:

 

[Ivo]

Plenty of potential to kick that deficit into touch with the next station if used properly though: Manchester Piccadilly

 

[Temple Meads]

Manchester Oxford Road.

 

[Ivo]

Let's not end this one too early, because I want a nice haul for a change! So no OT jaunts this time...

Deansgate

 

[Temple Meads]

Last one from me tonight/this morning is Trafford Park

 

[Lampshade]

Boo-ring

To Humphrey Park.

 

[Eagle]

Urmston

 

[Lampshade]

Chassen Road.

 

[Ivo]

To be fair I didn't intend to go any further either. To say that I'm in the mood for writing would be an understatement! Although, is creativity really the best course of action at 2am?

Anyhow, next up is Urmston.

hock: Gosh, that was slow. Flixton

 

[Eagle]

Irlam

 

[Lampshade]

Glazebrook.

 

[Eagle]

Birchwood.

Any likelihood of speeding this up with TPE or EMT? (The next route choice isn't until Liverpool South Parkway.)

 

[Lampshade]

Padgate.

No because Birchwood - [STN]WAC[/STN] would have given Padgate the victory

 

[Eagle]

Warrington Central

 

[Lampshade]

Sankey for Penketh.

 

[Eagle]

Widnes

 

[Lampshade]

Liverpool South Parkway on an EMT 158.

 

[Eagle]

Runcorn.

Did consider trapping us by doubling back but being as we're already 20 points down for a late penalty I thought it best to let the jackpot get back into positive figures

 

[Lampshade]

You'd have had to go Hunts Cross then I'd have taken us onto Merseyrail

Acton Bridge on LM.

Doesn't that penalty only apply in a dead-end situation, to prevent people wasting time?

 

[Eagle]

No you wouldn't, because the next station on Merseyrail after Hunts Cross is Liverpool South Parkway, which is already gone. :roll:

Hartford

True, although there's Halewood on the City Line

Winsford.

 

[Eagle]

Winsford.

And if you'd done that the only move left would be Hough Green, for me, for the win. :P That's how you trap.

Crewe. Six directions you could go in here.

 

[Ivo]

Fast to Stafford

Just don't say Norton Bridge...!

 

[Eagle]

Penkridge

 

[Ivo]

Wolverhampton

Quite a popular thread among Guests at present...!

 

[Lampshade]

Sandwell and Dudley.

 

[Ivo]

Lazy...!

Smethwick Galton Bridge

I'll you both to it for a bit now. I've got a chapter to complete.
