    Or even, crossing the Thames on a south-east diagonal, St. John's (change at Southwark for Waterloo East).

    Playing the Gallic inversion, St Paul, which rather ironically is the Jewish quarter of Paris.
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host, 8th Day Host
    I have a feeling St. Paul may have had Jewish connections. Anyway, rolling gently on to


    Bastille
    (And the left bank is now in spoon.)

    Continuing the theme of historical imprisonment: Tower of London (oh yes, there was once!)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I've just escaped - Tower Gateway

    Better go further: London City Airport.

    Royal Victoria to go play on the cable cars
  • Net SpinsterNet Spinster Shipmate
    Powell Street station for more cable cars
  • SipechSipech Shipmate
    With the cable car allocation all used up now, I think there's little choice but to head along the inverted diagonal to Bermondsey.

    Inverted Diagonals ?? On a Friday ?
    Pinner

    But, but, but - North Greenwich also has cable cars (the other end from Royal Victoria), and is easily reached from Bermondsey on the Jubilee Line

    You try saying "easily reached" after you do that trip at 5pm on a Friday afternoon. Tsk!

    Onwards, to Angmering!

  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Well, if we're doing that Friday afternoon Ing thing,

    Ingatestone

    Continuing with the ing theme Barkingside

    Lingjing Hutong and double
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    Goodness, I go away for 36 hours and just see what happens. We need to restore some order here, if not sanity. Leicester (Belgrave Road). That should damp down the flames a bit.
  • Jengie JonJengie Jon Shipmate
    Well in that case how about Waterloo
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Agincourt, obviously.
  • Jengie JonJengie Jon Shipmate
    Oh if we are going in that direction then Battle
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    And so, with a leap and a bound, we're back on the Underground: Turnham Green.
  • JapesJapes Shipmate
    Shadwell - since we're in battle mode.
  • FirenzeFirenze Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Ashkirk - the nearest station to Dryden (you were thinking of McFlecknoe no?)
  • Fawkes CatFawkes Cat Shipmate

    Shadwell , for Cable Street
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    What, back there again so soon? We'd better move decisively to escape its magnetism: Oakwood.

    Monday morning, back to work
    Hounslow West

    (nearest station to our London Office)
  • SipechSipech Shipmate
    Going round the compass are we? OK, then.
    Northolt
    Good luck to the next player in avoiding a transverse decoupling penalty.

    What's wrong with Dagenham East? Easily reached with by lazy change at Mile End
  • balaambalaam Shipmate
    Having exhausted the cardinal points, it's off to Finchley Central.

    Be careful, moves to westbound platforms are now invalid.
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    If we can't have a cardinal point, what about Paddington (Bishop's Road)? - eastbound towards Edgware Road, of course.
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    Croxley

    and yes, my dilateral Fringes have bifurcated edges
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    I think you can probably get tablets for that ...
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host, 8th Day Host
    No. It needs surgery. I suggest the Royal Free and


    Belsize Park
  • Curiosity killedCuriosity killed Shipmate
    Not St Thomas' and Westminster?
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host, 8th Day Host
    From there you could go on one line to within a short (and attractive) walk of Guy’s - straight through to

    Monument
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I was thinking something along those lines, BT. :mrgreen:

    Faversham should be safe enough at this time of day.
  • SipechSipech Shipmate
    You've clearly never been to Kent late on a Monday evening.

    For refuge, try sheltering at Littlehaven.

    Do you realise what you've done there? Only put the whole of the British mainland into spoon! Fortunately there's a way out - and we can even use a Tube train for part of the journey: Havenstreet.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    If the mainland's still in spoon, then I'd better play Groudle Glen.
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    A very delicate option, I must say. I think we'll need to hop over to Toronsay Castle although you might find a distinct lack of rails.
  • Jengie JonJengie Jon Shipmate
    If I am correct then Port Soderick should be playable.
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    That was a quick leap back! Better keep island-jumping, this time to St. Helier (Snow Hill),
  • SipechSipech Shipmate
    As we are now in the liminal space where Tuesday turns into Wednesday, we can board the midnight express to the exotic heights of Penge West.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Ooh, exotic indeed. And brave!

    Better head for the Bailey:

    St. Paul's
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host, 8th Day Host
    I think I need some advice for that



    Chancery Lane
  • Curiosity killedCuriosity killed Shipmate
    I used to go to Lincoln's Inn via Holborn, but Inner Temple is easier to reach from Temple
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    For real excitement you could try Aldwych. But don't go via Embankment and Holborn, just walk up the road, it's much quicker.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Or, if you want to disappear altogether,

    King's Cross (Platform 9¾)
  • Baptist TrainfanBaptist Trainfan Shipmate
    You do know where this takes us, don't you?

    Clearly, Glenfinnan (for the viaduct: http://tiny.cc/e9ej8y). But why they dared paint a Great Western locomotive red beggars belief!
