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.
They changed them back in 2013 after the North West Co. Durham final at Bowes went into its fourth week and they ran out of beer at the High Force Hotel.
Which means we can depart and get back onto a sensible footing.
Straddles aren't allowed when diagonals are spooned, so reverse shunt into Kings Cross St Pancras
I used to work overlooking Wormwood scrubs (at Hammersmith Hospital). I used to get the Central line there, and walk down the side of recreation ground between the station and the Scrubs to get to the Hospital. A lot of the time I could smell cooking (and it smelt a lot like cabbage!) as I walked past. As this would have been around 9am or so, it's rather depressing to think what state the cabbage might be in by the time it was meant to be eaten....
Did anyone catch yesterday's BBC radio 3 breakfast show? The temperature locations for England were changed to places mentioned in Flanders and Swann's The Slow Train which they then played after the 8:30 forecast.
On which note, as Lincolnshire is good cabbage growing country, Tumby Woodside.
Dear me, anyone would think you lot had a one track mind. (Which is entirely possible on stretches of the Severn Beach line).. But anyway.
Hainault. Just because.
Well that helps doesn't it?
Can't straddle; diagonals are available in principle but would result in mass spoon.
Now, I know that Mornington Crescent, a beginners' guide (Vol 13), Brooke-Taylor 1993 (page 736 if you want to find the ref) was quite dismissive of reverse shunts during a Spoon Declaration, owing to the danger of causing a runaway, however, I don't see how that applies this time. Therefore I'm playing Leicester Square
Hmm ... a bit tricky seeing that there is bus substitution between Ingatestone and Newbury Park all weekend. Is your journey really necessary practical?

Don't know whether it's really necessary or practical, but a mass spoon is Right.Out. as it breaks all social distancing rules.... However, I'm probably permitted to take two cards from the discard pile, and shunt sideyways to Burnside (Strathclyde)
Aaarrrggghhh!!! I never saw that one coming! That's stopped me from getting to Penrith! Oh well. Have to make the best of things, I suppose. Best I can do now is Wellingborough. Oh well.

Oh, that's jolly good. Means I can move to Putney Bridge. Change here for the Boat Race.
I'll be rooting for Cambridge.

And on that note: East Acton

It does, however, release two of my purple chips, so I'm off to Ipswich, where the Tractor Boys are apparently 2-0 up against Blackpool.
