I rather fancy a stroll along Princes Street, so off we go to Edinburgh Waverley.

I was on holiday recently, and had the experience of trying to fly a kite. The wind dropped, but just before it landed in a rock pool a gust bore it back aloft.
Therefore Robin Hood's Bay [dis.]

Aha ... taking from the rich to be given to the poor.
Probably won't be found anywhere near Bank then.
(Did you notice how cleverly I have got us back onto the Northern Line, albeit the wrong branch?)
Had I been following Piglet I would have suggested Balloch for the other branch of Jenners at Loch Lomond Shores.

I did notice, and I'm amazed at your Chutzpah. You will be aware, of course, that lateral straddling carries a significant risk of backfilling at mainline interchanges, as exemplified in the Grassington and Linton Open back in 1986. This was of course pre-Leamington Spa, or there'd probably have been blood in the beck before teatime.
Cockfosters, obviously.

Not so obviously; Chutzpah usually sends one to somewhere like Golders Green which is fortunately many miles from a certain station near Coventry which we will not mention.

[shudders] indeed not - doesn't mere reference put the Circle line in Nidd?
Now, I think there's a poor lie on the District, and there's no way that that broken-down DMU near Hitchen will go into the top left pocket, so I think the obvious thing is the safety shot - Kings Cross St Pancras - which leaves the jack firmly against the bottom straddle.

They cleared a carriage, and then we stopped for a suspiciously long time between stations, but eventually we arrived at Victoria.

Do you mean Chhatrapati Shivaji Station in Mumbai, formerly known as "Victoria Terminus"?
Are we in Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield or Swansea?
Or have we crossed the Irish Sea to Belfast (Great Victoria Street)?
Precision is of the essence in this merry game.
(P.S. I actually travelled to Sheffield Victoria once, first-class Pullman on the "Master Cutler" from Kings Cross around 1963).

I mean the Victoria that's one stop (or two stops counting the secret stop under Buck House) on the Victoria Line from Green Park. It is the only one simply called Victoria station. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

Spoilsport (pouts and takes the hump).
In that case: Walthamstow Central.

BTF, could you clarify whether that was the Great Victoria Street which closed in 1976 or the one which opened in 1995?
Either way, I think Green Park would be in order.

What have you all been up to while I've been away taking in the lush green scenery at Manorbier?
I'm playing a holiday post card as a trump just to make you all jealous.

I think the new UK car registrations have stunned everyone into needing to check whether or not their moves are valid.
No need ! it only affects us when the second digit changes, so we don't have to worry about it till March.
with that in mind I will set everyone's mind at rest and provide plenty of onwards possiblities by choosing Carpenders Park

Evidently, going by the silence...
Of course, since a Monday morning has now been and gone, the peace and quiet means I can play Mornington Crescent and yah boo sucks to the lot of ye
Probably time to put the set away or we might not be allowed to play again if the grown-ups think we've left it out and aren't actually playing with it. We'll get a lecture on how if the little trains go up the hoover then they're gone and it's our fault.
I'll pack it away since I won.

Oh Karl. If only you knew who was watching over this thread now, you might not have been so eager to make that very amenable suggestion. If even you think it might be getting time to call it a night and go out on a high note...
Not to worry. It'll be back later. It always is.
