Mornington Crescent

As today is not in any way unusual, I declare a game of Mornington Crescent.
Whilst shunts are allowed, straddles do not count on odd-numbered days, and the foxtrot is not a valid dance style.
Anyway, to begin (and I know this is a little left-field):
Oxfird Circus, yesterday

Date: 2006-09-22 01:46 pm (UTC)If we're playing by the Plomary Downs Amendment of 1953, however, it would have to be East Finchley, a rather forced move, but I have few options.
I apologise for my uncertainty on the version fo the rules you're playing with, but I can't for the life of me remember whether or not the standard lj rules include the PDA.

Date: 2006-09-22 02:59 pm (UTC)given that there is an e in the month, the only possible answering move is Russell Square.
Thus I declare a double hookey.

Date: 2006-09-22 04:04 pm (UTC)No shunts, eh? Hmmm... Well, while we're on the Central, better go and visit

Date: 2006-09-22 04:54 pm (UTC)I think that opens the board of play up a little, but we'll have to see how it goes...

Date: 2006-09-22 06:16 pm (UTC)Assuming that I have an all day railcard I could end up anywhere so i'll pop into White City because it's there...
Well.........

Date: 2006-09-23 10:00 am (UTC)(I wonder if you can change at Victoria or St Pancras and go national...)
A good station, Warren Street, one of the few that I've actually been to.

Date: 2006-09-23 09:04 am (UTC)I do love these temporal variations... the vintage 2012 championship really opened up the runnings for the casual player.

Date: 2006-09-23 06:27 pm (UTC)Anyway, unless I am VERY much mistaken, Pawns can only move "en passant" through Kings Cross during the school term, which voids the move.
I therfore take the option of the tripple hookey...
This obviously strands the game at Putney Bridge a week last tuesday, so I can only appologise to the next player who is forced to miss 3 turns unless they roll a double.
