How does Oakwood sound after that?

Hadley Wood? I see you're taking the Boris Johnson approach, I really don't see how that fair as yesterday it was the 19th July.
As we're playing dirty and Asda has just shut (excluding the 24 hour stores) I'm going to have to use Santander as a reference point and say Totteridge & Whetstone.

Is disallowed because of the britannia rail divestment rule of 1996. IF (and when) the Oysterization (2012) amendment is accepted, then it would be a valid move Sooo..... We're still at Oakwood, folks. EDIT: As DeepLevel posted at the same time as me - DL - You are quite right, however as I've disallowed Hadley Wood, you move to Totteridge & Whetstone is clean.

After BR's privatisation that became an illegal move... Seven Sisters is allowed according to rule 11-43.

The only sensible move from there is to Watford High Street.

(For those not quite understanding the rules, here is a version played recently. ClickyListen from 17mins 45seconds, sorry, I couldn't get the link to direct you to the correct start point.

I didn't realise there was actually a reason behind this thread, I thought we were all just being sarcastic ;D. Apparently there aren't actually any rules: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game)And on that basis I guess we can only now go with Kensington (Olympia).

Watford West (still technically open I think)

Willesden Green, although I'm not sure whether it's a legal move..

Turnham Green, according to W17

I know that after the 1951 amendment one can't move to a station starting with a T immediately after another...
...but I'm playing Tottenham Hale anyway, as it wasn't built when that rule was implemented.

I was hoping for somewhere close to home with this move, but as you've cunningly snookered me from the entire DLR it'll have to be North Greenwich.

Post by Deep Level on Jul 21, 2012 1:45:32 GMT
I wasn't going to but I'm gonna blow you all out the water and play that station that you've all been trying to avoid, I know it's going to ruin it for the rest of you but...
Aldwych

I invoke the Green Diamond Inclusion: Shadwell and St. George-in-the-East.
For seconds I'll have Southend.

Temple, Hatton Cross..... OK, I'm going Strand (G.N.,P.&B.Rly) I wasn't going to but I'm gonna blow you all out the water and play that station that you've all been trying to avoid, I know it's going to ruin it for the rest of you but... Aldwych Unless I'm mistaken, (to which there is a 50/50 chance), aren't these the same station.

Aldwych used to be peak hours only. Is this still applicable?

Surely that is in breach of instruction 0.1(d), which leads to disqualification?

Regrettably jjerome95 is mistaken if they are going for the Piccadilly line station, but there is also the street and the underground tram stop. But I digress.
Cyprus.... I'm tempted by Stratford International, but remembering the Empire connection and Queen Victoria, (and having seen Southend being played) I am going to go from Cyprus westwards to:
Windsor.

Post by chrisvandenkieboom on Jul 21, 2012 10:47:42 GMT
Ah, the only allowed move would be to South London... Tooting Bec, perhaps?

Tooting Bec is a fine move there Chris.
Seeing as the namesakes (players) rules paragraph 14.8.6(3)(xiv)(a) is presently subject to appeal, this gives me the latitude to play Hounslow Barracks.

Post by angelislington on Jul 21, 2012 12:33:10 GMT
Hounslow Barracks? Ooh, tricky. However, I shall invoke Ardlington's triangulation theory, and posit East Putney.

There is only one sensible way to follow that - a station one has recently travelled past on a bus (c.f. Squadron Leader Ernest Lincoln <sub>FRPS</sub> 1971). As I took a journey on the 205 ealier today this gives me a wide choice, but Aldgate fits the bill nicely.

Post by rdm on Jul 21, 2012 15:37:02 GMT
As historical moves have not been excluded by present rule 1, from Aldgate I would play Hanger Lane (Jn) in memory of DD.
