Playing a Red Chip to allow it to pass as a District Line move under the Closed Stations protocol. This also means that Left Luggage can be retrieved at Aldwych and of course all services must stop at Down Street making shunts inevitable where straddles are not in force.
We're not using yellow chips, right? Then Russell Square.
Erm - several have already been played.
I'm shunting you into Seven Sisters, which because of the state of the diagonals puts the whole TfL area in spoon for five rubbers. I'm off to Stalybridge for a pint or four while everyone else sorts out the mess.
Mine's an Old Peculier. Not many of us have a personalised brew...
According to the Credit Points System, that's worth 21 points.

That gets us to Ely
You forgot that the second transform should be done in base 9.
ROT13 on your play and I can shunt you into St Neot's and play Bedford Midland
Any services not stopping between here and Luton are wild of course and those stations can be played in lieu of Zone 4 and further out. Must be declared before confirming the contract though.
OK - bit of a wild card; a risk, but if I am right about the likely undertricks, we can huff two kings and land on the back rank, and play Unst Bus Shelter
I think the 1985 Regularisation of Public Transport (Amendment 2b [revised]) Rules prohibited the use of facilities provided for road transport in this game, though I believe there was an later exemption for trams. So I declare your move illegal and substitute Upwey Wishing Well Halt.
Right, this is a chance to use my Platform Ticket -
If I enter the station, I'm forbidden from using the trains to actually go anywhere, but here's the clever part - because I'm taking the third train from platform 2, I get an Exemption From Inspection Card.
You are putting temptation in my way! I think we'll have to go to the station which once was closest to my house but never quite made it onto the Northern Line: Mill Hill (The Hale) Halt - look carefully at the street name adjacent to it: https://tinyurl.com/1n6t1brl.
1) Go straight to Inverness
2) Do not have supper on the train
3) Eat only cakes and cream buns when you arrive as there is a shortage of everything
else in the Highlands).
As I walk around Inverness feeling sick, I wonder who comes up with these rules.

Yes, it does.

Oakham
(and, to tie up a very old loose end, the Nymphéas brought to mind by King's Nympton)
Пло́щадь Револю́ции (Ploshchad Revolyutsii)
The incorrect challenge means ferry terminals are wild so I'm able to use Skatuddens Terminal
That puts at least four moves between the Queen of Trumps and MC.
High Barnet
Feel free to gyrate if that makes you feel good.
* let's face it, it's too long since I've been anywhere.

Shoeburyness here I come!
Serious tubiness at Forest Glen.
My apologies - I think I might have just put the Jubilee Line into Spoon. Sorry about that.
Mmm, yum, thanks.
Meanwhile, there seems to be a glut of green chips, so the fact I've got a handful of red is probably a good thing... White City
Heading in a generally southerly direction to Elephant and Castle.
Too far.
Lowestoft
How about we start again? Nice and central I think for starters.
Tottenham Court Road
Russell Square
Indeed. Strategy worthy of Waterloo.
Obviously from Baker Street (sorry!)
