Starting two after the madman (1) I change at a building without scurvy (2) so I may reach a station that should have a portcullis (3). Interchanging here to a defended rise (4) I take a train that has passed through two gates (5 and 6) and alight below a portcullis (7).
Descending as deep as Joe Public can go without leaving the station, I travel two stops (8). Changing again here I head on a manually driven train to the second National Rail interchange (9) before doubling back on the other LU line here to the station that gave the line its name (10).
From here I take an unrefurbished train to horticulture (11), before continuing to where I could be in Yorkshire (12)..
Where did I go?

I'll need to pick up marks by showing my workings, then  Starting two after the madman (1) (Prince Regent, DLR, so two after is start at either Beckton Park or Royal Victoria. I change at a building without scurvy (2) Limehouse, so I may reach a station that should have a portcullis (3). Tower Gateway Interchanging here to a defended rise (4) Tower Hill I take a train that has passed through two gates (5 and 6) Clockwise Circle that has passed through Moorgate and Aldgate and alight below a portcullis (7). Westminster. Descending as deep as Joe Public can go without leaving the station, I travel two stops (8). Erm, two stops?   Thinks: C/L is automatic and Southwark no connection Oh, well...... Jubilee one stop to Waterloo. Changing again here I head on a manually driven train to the second National Rail interchange (9) .. past Charing Cross to Euston, before doubling back on the other LU line here (Victoria Line) to the station that gave the line its name (10). Victoria. From here I take an unrefurbished train to horticulture (11), Kew Gardens, before continuing to where I could be in Yorkshire (12).. Richmond. Where did I go? |

Mostly right! Starting two after the madman (1) (Prince Regent, DLR, so two after is start at either Beckton Park or Royal Victoria. I was actually thinking of King George V, two later than the mad King George III. I change at a building without scurvy (2) Limehouse, Yes. so I may reach a station that should have a portcullis (3). Tower Gateway Indeed Interchanging here to a defended rise (4) Tower Hill Spot on I take a train that has passed through two gates (5 and 6) Clockwise Circle that has passed through Moorgate and Aldgate Correct and alight below a portcullis (7). Westminster. Well done Descending as deep as Joe Public can go without leaving the station, I travel two stops (8). Erm, two stops? Thinks: C/L is automatic and Southwark no connection Oh, well...... Jubilee one stop to Waterloo. I do indeed mean one stop  but the westbound is below the eastbound at Westminster, so I end up at Green Park. Changing again here I head on a manually driven train to the second National Rail interchange (9) .. past Charing Cross to Euston, I should not write these so late at night! I actually intended to go to Finsbury Park, but that is the third NR connection, so I actually got to KXSP. before doubling back on the other LU line here (Victoria Line) to the station that gave the line its name (10). Victoria. Despite my mistake, and your mistake, this is correct! From here I take an unrefurbished train to horticulture (11), Kew Gardens, Yes before continuing to where I could be in Yorkshire (12).. Richmond. Correct. Very well done! |
