Please could someone explain the last two moves as they look like a reverse shunt with a diagonal wild en passant, which hasn't been allowed without a corresponding Zone 1 station at Silly Mid Off since the Garden Review of 1996.
Staying on the Dons theme - Wimbledon, which is now back on Plough Lane, having taken over the old dog track. (I used to support Wimbledon at Plough Lane, back in Crazy Gang times, worked in that little complex with the dog track and football ground in one of the factories.) Although that isn't the best station, Earlsfield would be better.
@KarlLB - mostly it isn't a list of stations, Euston Square was playing with Square or shaped train stations. It may be on the Circle Lines, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City Lines while Russell Square is on the Piccadilly, but when has remaining on the same lines had anything to do with anything on this version of the game?
Ah, but is "you must annotate your posts" a Rule? Or, indeed, is it a Rule that one must question a post which isn't annotated? Samantha, we need you to tell us ...
Surely, though, it is required that any move to said elevated suburb must immediately trigger a response from The Other Place, otherwise you will be pursued by members of a well-known Oxford University dining club: Eton & Windsor Riverside.
(I can't think of any stations related to Hannibal!)
Borough - cos the pubs are much better there - it's where the only galleried inn in London still survives, albeit rebuilt in 1677 after the 1676 Southwark fire.
We spent many happy hours eating and drinking in the area when we were in London (and almost as much time getting lost and un-lost again when we used the wrong exit at London Bridge).
@KarlLB I was being facetious, but honestly the baroque absurdity of the original MC is not part of my experience and I don’t think there’s any prospect of my being able to replicate it here. Perhaps I shall go to Sagrada Familia to repent of the sin of modernism.
(I don’t know where one goes to repent of the sin of playing two different stations in a single post.)
Depends on whether you're male or female: Brixton or Holloway Road would be good, for starters! (St. Quintin Park & Wormwood Scrubs is no longer available).

Without explanations, the game is just a list of railway stations.

Waverley. Do I get extra points for actually being there, twice a day?
It’s not exactly underground, but it is a tube…

I'll take the Blue chip and draw 2 face up. Laterals wide so Picadilly; Zone 3 south of Kew in Spoon.
Thurso
Battersea Power Station
Squeeze fans will see what I did there.
To places with rather happier connotations:
Aberdeen
