The next station is...!

[Lampshade]

Jewellery Quarter.

If we end up on the Cotswold Line again I will not be happy

 

[Eagle]

No surprises here, it's Birmingham Snow Hill.

 

[Lampshade]

Birmingham Moor Street.

 

[Eagle]

Risky, but... Solihull with Chiltern.

 

[Lampshade]

Widney Manor.

 

[Eagle]

Dorridge, then. Thought you might double back, which could only have ended in us going to Stratford via Tyseley.

 

[Ivo]

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

Likely to be Google spiders (I mean they've got a lot of archiving work to do on this thread :P)

Only two are apparently!

Lapworth

 

[Lampshade]

Hatton.

 

[Eagle]

Warwick Parkway, because anyone can edit their posts.

 

[Ivo]

And that works how?

 

[Lampshade]

Warwick Parkway, because anyone can edit their posts.

My post was in response to Dorridge, I had to edit it otherwise it would have been incorrect when Ivo posted.

Warwick.

 

[Ivo]

Ditto here. You both put Hatton, but Eagle - who came after you - is claiming a victory for it! I just don't see how that works?

 

[Eagle]

And that works how?

You said Lapworth, Lampshade said Warwick Parkway, I said Hatton. Win. Then he changed his post to Hatton...

Anyway, I fixed it now. Headline run to Marylebone, anyone?

 

[Ivo]

You said Lapworth, Lampshade said Warwick Parkway, I said Hatton. Win. Then he changed his post to Hatton...

Oh. Nice. I didn't notice that

 

[Eagle]

Leamington Spa, my adoptive home station

 

[Ivo]

And through your adoptive home town, to Coventry.

 

[Lampshade]

Oh. Nice. I didn't notice that

Our posts were concurrent, you got there first, so I edited mine

Birmingham International.

For the record, this post has always been BHI.

 

[Eagle]

My post was in response to Dorridge, I had to edit it otherwise it would have been incorrect when Ivo posted.

There are a couple of services that only skip Hatton, IIRC, so your post wasn't actually incorrect per se, just incredibly foolish-looking :P

Canley.

 

[Ivo]

Tile Hill

 

[Eagle]

Berkswell

 

[Ivo]

Hampton-in-Arden

 

[Eagle]

And on to Birmingham International... wonder what'll happen next?

 

[Ivo]

I'll tell you: Fast to Birmingham New Street.

 

[Eagle]

Burton on Trent on a Glasgow-bound Voyager.

 

[Ivo]

And back south again, to Tamworth.

 

[Eagle]

Nuneaton with Virgin Trains. Specifically, the 22.05, originating from Liverpool.

 

[Ivo]

BEDWORTH

Victory!

By the way, above all of this, Lampshade appears to have made another edit, suggesting the stations between COV and BHI don't count. Did you notice that? I didn't You would have already said Canley by then. however, there order of posting is correct, so no consecutive stations by the same member - it just means those four are possibly duds. It depends on whether the edit stands or not.

 

[Eagle]

BEDWORTH

Victory!

Oh, for Christ's sake, how could I overlook that? I wanted to go south on the WCML otherwise we'd just end up stuck in Birmingham, obviously couldn't play Atherstone...

Being as it causes you not to get points, I'm going to take it as we're still at BHI, then.

Hampton in Arden

 

[Ivo]

Look again: Unfortunately, it only causes the intermediate stations to not count; the game still works afterwards. So the victory still stands, it's just worth four points less. (Posts #3169 - #3173 are duds effectively.)

 

[Lampshade]

Ahem, I'll tell you where we are. We're back at Birmingham International from post #3168

Duly noted.

Berkswell.
