Ouch!
This could be very painful ...
I might even need to ask my "friends" from You-know-where to rescue me, such is my sense of desperation! And damn the conequences ...

No, no, no. That isn't a valid destination for the game of Mornington Crescent. BT means, well, you know who, you must do, don't you? You know, initials of "LS" and all that.
Anyway, assuming that BT and I understand each other, the next move had better be Kilburn.

Dour, Mr Backslider? No, just sober... and concerned for the serious reputation of a game the inception of which I was in a previous life involved with.
I do hope the alleged banter ceases to resemble this year's Christmas Round Robins (cf the wonderful ripostes broadcast by Lynn Truss on the Today programme.
BTW, you need to know that nothing culturally significant ever happens in Ebbw Vale: even the Eisteddfod there had to take place outside the town boundaries.
Since it is in the course of reconstruction, I'll throw in
Blaenavon High Level
before going to bed.

Traveller has indeed sussed me out. We're not talking Liverpool Street, by the way, although that might be a useful ruse.
A little lower than that last place in Wales, and fully reconstructed some years ago.

Thanks for that, BT - I'm providing the cheeseboard for a dinner-party we're going to on Hogmanay, and there's a wonderful cheese shop on the concourse at Liverpool Street.

Ah, cheese shops - now you're talking! When I was on my way to Heathrow in November I bought a couple of wonderful cheese filled batons at the one at Victoria.

I had thought of that, however it seemed a bit obvious.
Garsdale onthe Settle & Carlisle might be better - nearest station to Hawes these days.

I assume you are moving to Gloucester Central and thence by foot to Eastgate (or at least where it was).
Let's open the game out at
Severn Tunnel Junction

Balaam's move was perfectly valid regarding the weekend before Christmas. Once you got to Gloucester you jolly well stayed there!

Following the less than inspired quadrilateral to Box we can proceed, to Thingley Junction.

Too much cider, annwyl Sais, as 30th December is not the weekend before Christmas, at least in Gloucester.
Let's go and get some more cider to dull the pain:

Certain people might feel aggrieved by that comment!
Of course, cider is made elsewhere in the country: Colyford.

Karl LB is probably cribbing, and that is not allowed. If there is nothing to that effect in his book, he should return it forthwith for Not Being In The Spirit Of The Game.

Westminster to be close to Trafalgar Square to celebrate the new year.
(Yes, yes, I know that a certain station is closer, but that would be a shoe-in to get to MC, so I can't play that. The walk up Whitehall will do me good. ![[Cool]](cool.gif) )

Trafalgar Square may be the traditional place, but the place to be is along the river for the fireworks. Plus 2013 is an odd numbered year, which brings rule 37b back into play. I could wait for midnight and win, but instead a short hop to Southwark to watch the fireworks.
No reversing south of the river under rule 37b, so that should be interesting ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Which opens up a straight run to open 2013 with
Mornington Crescent
Now let's see who can make some progress with a start at
Turnpike Lane
bearing in mind that cross-diagonal working is only allowed in reverse during years that end in -13. (Lloyd George's Hawarden rule, since you ask...)
