    The closest we ever came to Wales was through Bristol on the way to and from Taunton, home of Hestercombe gardens. (It was a rainy day in April and the only other people there seemed to Tauntonians walking their dogs. We half-expected to be issued a dog to walk with our entry tickets.)
  • Hence, Island Gardens (phew, back in The Smoke!)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Did someone mention islands?

    Groudle Glen
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    Cité would be my island of choice right now if travel were a thing.
  • kingsfoldkingsfold Shipmate
    I'd take any number of the Hebrides as an island choice, but I can't play them in this game :disappointed: . So it's off to Settle for you.

    Not a Hebride (is there such a word?), I grant you - but will Machrihanish do?

    I'm just in time for the night train. Euston

    Regent's Park
  • Direct line to Elephant & Castle, the king is now in play.
  • Royal Oak, then.
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    Which leads naturally to Elm Park.

    We're now without a driver, so I'm going to take the Docklands Railway to Beckton Park.

    ... and thence to Stratford
  • And hence to Windsor & Eton Riverside (beware of Merry Wives at your destination).
  • kingsfoldkingsfold Shipmate
    They can always hang out with the Two Gentlemen of Verona.
    Sorry - wrong game.....
    Totteridge & Whetstone
  • Meridian Park which is both upstairs (lots and lots of stairs) and conjures up a green space near Greenwich, rather the reality of the middle of an industrial estate next to arterial roads.
  • Bleurgh - messed that up - meant Meridian Water
  • Which calls for Waterloo
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    ... and City, erm, I mean Bank.
  • The station on the W&C was, I think, originally called "City".

    As in City Thameslink.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Mudchute (no, I don't know why either)
  • Waterbeach.
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    Strangely, I think the last few stations have all been played in the last few pages. Which puts us squarely on the Circle Line, perhaps at Sloane Square. Ms. Marsupial would want me to remind you to go to Chelsea Physic while you are here.
  • I've been to Chelsea Physic (my aunt lived on Oakley Street) so South Kensington.
  • kingsfoldkingsfold Shipmate
    Haven't been on the Met for a while... Rickmansworth
  • All right, you asked for it: Verney Junction.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Georgemas Junction
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    Georgetown GO station.
  • jrwjrw Shipmate
    Georges will take us to Paris Gare du Nord.

    Careful: you've played that move after curfew. It not being a place to hang around after dark (seriously, it's a very grotty neighbourhood) let's get in ASAP. Opéra
  • Temple and put down two blue chips
  • Temple, Monument - what's the difference?
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Bank Mind the gap.
  • ... in the nation's finances?
  • Now there's really no difference between Bank and Monument - all one horrible busy mess underground.

    Embankment
  • ... which neatly combines the two!
  • I think the 1918 rules require we give Curiosity killed a chip for that, so one red. Mansion House
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    And Cannon Street, for completeness’ sake.
  • jrwjrw Shipmate
    I woke up on the tube and wondered if we'd ever left the Circle Line. Now I'm on my way to Sevenoaks. Or am I still dreaming?
  • You wanted the Victoria Line, didn't you? To Seven Sisters? An easy mistake to make, especially if you think they're near Eastbourne: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Sisters,_Sussex
  • PendragonPendragon Shipmate
    No, if you're off to Sevenoaks, you really need to visit the Deer Park (aka Knowle House)
  • If you want the Seven Sisters. you could try Cuckmere Haven
  • Hmm ... I don't fancy sitting on top of a wobbly wagon loaded with shingle!

    Plays a whole box of red chips and returns to Ealing Haven.
  • kingsfoldkingsfold Shipmate
    I wondered about Milord Haven, then remembered the mid-Wales line, so it's off to
    Llandrindod instead.
  • How about Abergevenny on the other line that runs up through Wales?
  • Change at Craven Arms. You might have a long wait, but it's very pretty round there.
  • kingsfoldkingsfold Shipmate
    You'll need to request the stop at Pen-y-Bont
  • Summit, bring warm clothes
  • MarsupialMarsupial Shipmate
    ... and to Jungfraujoch as well.
