In that case, Ptarmigan Top Station.
I agree about the perils of snow at Abbots Ripton (posted upthread), although I do think that our signalling and brakes have improved somewhat since 1876.

Guys, just a warning that we'll be closing the thread for a break fairly soon. We wouldn't want the electronic scoreboard that KLB so kindly brought along to run out of batteries now, would we. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
I'm not going to give the game away, but I'm pretty sure one of you has an open reverse shunt into MC if you play it right.

That sounds like the link on my local railway company's website: "Planned Disruptions". It somehow always makes me smile.
Dare I say Highgate (High Level)?

You mean we haven't got either the lovely Samantha or the equally lovely Sven scoring?
Well, that's blown my daydream then.
Anyhow, I think Highgate suits nicely.
ETA: Oops. Can you tell I'm having a bad day? Revise that to Barons Court

Samantha and Sven are both involved, fret not. The electronic display board was set up by Sven, but it is a little temperamental; Sven doesn't seem to quite have the knack, which does make him quite cross, but he soon brightens up when Samantha appears to twiddle his knob whenever it goes down.

Should take long enough to get back from there to stop the hosts closing the thread in the immediate future.

Especially if we throw Royal Leamington Spa into the equation.

After those last two moves, there's only one thing to do.

As Shakespeare would have put it:

On that note of erudition, I bid you all farewell.

Bad move, Chorister. No way out of those sidings, thanks to the weather.
All routes to Mornington Crescent are blocked due to the wrong kind of snow. Please feel free to panic.
