    Hmm. Either that last move was way too weird, or maybe we’re losing steam, or maybe both?

    Anyway, back to somewhere more familiar:

    Arnos Grove which should should put large parts of Britain in nidd

    But not York.
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    King's Cross (York Road) - that'll fox 'em, it's only served by trains going in one direction!
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    They could stop at Royal York on the way back. (I know it seems very far away, but it's actually only one stop east of Islington...)
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    Hmmm, not quite sure that my Oyster card would work there ...

    Not sure about York Road on the Piccadilly Line either.
  • Net SpinsterNet Spinster Shipmate
    Nidd Bridge (in Yorkshire)
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    I suppose that also rules out York Mills, Yorkdale, and York University stations...

    We have Figaro on the CD player at the moment so Covent Garden.

    That's easy for you to say ...

    Aberystwyth

    How about a detour to Devil's Bridge then?

    Dalmeny is by a much nicer bridge

    oh goodness - easy - thank you Putney Bridge

    I’m pretty sure London Bridge is close to a bridge somewhere, and I know it’s conveniently close to the Market Porter...

    That sounds very terminal, especially if you're on the Metropolitan Line. Ignoring the Tier 4 restrictions and risking prosecution, we'll take a nice trip along the Cambrian Coast to Pwllheli. (It's in Oyster Zone 186, I think).
  • Captain ChrismCaptain Chrism Shipmate
    Ignore Tier 4 restrictions? Is outrage! Return at once to Aldgate East.

    But I'm in Wales ...

    Anyway [petulantly] I want to pas Go and collect my £200.

    (What do you mean, that's a different game? It's got stations on it, hasn't it?)

    Reading, so BT can pass Go and collect his $200.

    £££ please, not $$$!
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    I suppose that probably means visiting Santa at North Pole.
  • KarlLBKarlLB Shipmate
    Some of you guys need to think four-dimensionally as you've just inadvertently opened Elephant and Castle.

    All Northbound lines into interchanges are of course in Spoon now because of the Brooke-Taylor provisions (check Pateley Bridge and Harrogate Symposium Ruling 566 subsection AX Appendix Omicron)

    In that case, Clapham Common, in search of a man on an omnibus.

    Blackfriers to look for a black cat in a dark room
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    And we return to bridges with Longbridge.
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    Shortlands.
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    And I have cross-posted with Net Spinster twice on the same page. But apparently they have found the cat because we are back at Catford.

    I thought the players might be inspired by this little diversion.

    Thanks to the cross posts a slide to Catford Bridge
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    Hornchurch, because that’s where the song starts, and we haven’t been east for a while.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Oh well, if we're going east, Lowestoft

    *Cough*Cough*Cough*!

    Lyttleton Reverses are nor valid during Spoon. So you're in Nip and forfeit your green chips.

    Circle is wild now so I'm playing my Joker with Rickmansworth

    Diagonals pay the dealer unless raised three times the ante, obviously.
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    Hmm let’s try west instead. Conwy, for its cool castle and railway bridge.

    (I figure it’s the same Oyster zone as Pwllheli, give or take a zone or two.)
  • KarlLBKarlLB Shipmate
    That puts everything single-track in Nidd, which suits me.

    Tottenham Court Road

    You could concede now if you don't want to endure the long drawn out conclusion of the inevitable.

    Concede? Never! No surrender! Paisley (Gilmour Street).

    I see what you did there, BT, but you've given me a free pass to Greenock Central, which is rather nice, as it's where my parents came from*

    Lady Bracknell would not have approved. Which brings us to Victoria Station of course.

  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    The Brighton side?
  • KarlLBKarlLB Shipmate
    Your choice

    Dollis Hill

    Oh, and Zone 4 currently Trumps, before anyone tries the Brooke-Taylor Mainline Interchange Defence. Kings Cross St Pancras to Waterloo thoroughly vulnerable.
