Anyone watching this thread would think people were randomly naming underground (and other) stations. I thought was a convention of online play that relevant rulings were referenced as appropriate, if only to help beginners to follow the strategy? Otherwise it's like Test Cricket.
Anyway, that last has fortunately put Scotland in Spoon for four chukkas, so bearing in mind the Cryer-BrookeTaylor 1934 ruling (still valid I'll think you'll find, and Leamington Spa contrarians notwithstanding) I'm going for Mudchute.
Anyone without a full set and at least one hotel might as well give up now.
I have almost fond memories of Carrickfergus station - we lived not far from it for seven years, and it came in handy if the car wasn't available (or broken, or whatever).

I'm sure you can explain how that move is legal given the Lyttleton Addenda (1978) regarding reverse shunts? This is exactly the sort of transverse looping the 1977 Committee asked Samantha and Humph to work on. Apparently they got through a bottle of Corvoisier between them; Humph of course always said that for anything worthwhile to come off it was necessary to get a stiff one in Samantha.
Assuming you don't have a Straight (which I don't think you can have, the Spoon still standing on an each way accumulator), I'm having your blue chip and taking it to South Kensington
See, this is why I've been banging on about the rulings.
I'm playing a Thameslink Get Out of Jail Free Card to go straight through Midsomer Central (High Level) and come out (via the now freed up reverse shunt from Euston Square) to MORNINGTON CRESCENT
Trump, so all stations within 5 minutes walking distance of Unseen University Library are in Nidd, for obvious reasons. Using L-space requires a hotel on the Street of Cunning Artificers anyway.
Note - this is technically a goods line only for the biscuit factory. However the Restricted Lines Treatise (Lyttleton, 1984) demonstrates why this can be played in place of a three tile meld as long as a Joker is added to the ante.
Doesn't give access to the Trumpton main line or Camberwick Green branch, obviously.
Why, have they removed the Reversing Crossover? "Rationalisation" is always a dirty word.
Grumbly Gasworks Halt.
No, it's because the move was only possible through the above referenced ruling. Otherwise you could just reverse shunt through Treddle's Wharf. And then where would we be?*
Since we're going round in circles we may as well have a trip to Roundabout Land. Of course, that means the position of the railway station will keep changing. What have we got ourselves into here?

MORNINGTON... - nah, just joking.

Which takes us - I realise now - to Banbury (Merton Street).
P.S. Midsomer is a Very Dangerous Place with a ridiculously high (not to mention imaginative) murder rate. You're well out of it.
I suggest for variety we play the fantasy expansion. I believe the edition I have mandates a start at Gormenghast Castle
Nominate Pratchett as Trumps.

You reckon?
Theed - Change here for Otoh Gunga.
Trade Federation planets are obviously now in Spoon. Humph alone knows what happens if someone shunts into the Death Star without a Defuse card...
... perhaps ...
... just possibly ...
... and with every possible precaution in place ...
... we might go to somewhere safe such as Chiswick Park ?
Just sayin'.
This does mean that foul plays result in player counters landing in the chrono-synclastic infundibulum. Careful now.

Pshticoff! Pshticoff!
*Pippin's Wood I think. Best not.
That means it's Duncton for Duncton Wood
Watership Down definitely Spooned...
That's really thrown a spanner in the works. I can see how half the active players could now make MC in a single turn.
So the only option is Dollis Hill
Block? Block? I should be so lucky.
