Hmm I recommend a breath of fresh air. Walk up through the Inns of Court, cross over Fleet Street and walk up Chancery Lane to Chancery Lane station in High Holborn and take the Central Line to
Hmm, you might be a bit late for the Opera if you've been to Evensong and then had a meal ... Of course, if it had been summer, you could have gone to a performance at Holland Park.
Allegedly the least-used station in Wales: Sugar Loaf (see https://tinyurl.com/y6tafrr6). Hard to get to as half the line is still closed following a freight train derailment some weeks ago.
Are you allowed to do that? I thought that the Erewash Valley line was in Knid after 6pm on Saturdays. You'd be much better trying for Dagenham Heathway.
That is allowed, but it opens a three way diagonal to anyone holding three yellow chips.
With the main lines therefore in partial Nidd (catch point reverse shunts notwithstanding) it's fairly safe to play Tottenham Court Road, which conveniently completes a lateral meld.
They fall for it every time. It's like the rules are out of print or something.
Of course, the sidings are still hidden in the envelope, but we can make a guess from recent plays that Picadilly is still wild. Therefore it's probably (depending how the honours are split) best to head to Barking.
Not long since we left there ... as it's Sunday evening, Sagittarius is in the ascendant, and Occidental Diagonals have become cruciform, may I tentatively suggest Dolau. (Don't forget to tell the conductor though: trains only stop by request).
What I'd really like to do at this point is get on the RER C but they still haven't finished the repairs after that 3 tonne beam collapsed on the track last week (true story). I'll have to make do with the A.
As everyone knows (well, I didn't until I'd been there), the main hall at Atocha is a tropical garden. So, obviously, we play a green chip and end up at Kew Gardens.

David used to recount the story of a bloke from Shetland who, when filling in some official form or other, was asked for his nearest mainline railway station, so he put "Bergen".

It probably was.

Quite genuinely, when I first acquired an Oyster card, for some reason that now escapes me (registering it?) I had to fill in a form which wanted to know where your nearest London Underground station was. I resorted to Google Maps to find that Chesham is the appropriate answer for Bootle.

Afterwards, I think a spot of dinner might be in order, and there are some lovely restaurants around Covent Garden.

Dollis Hill (Sorry about that ...)

Upton's on the Wirral, isn't it? We'd better go to West Kirby.
