Mornington Crescent

[Mustermark]

If, as I assume because no-one has mentioned it, we are NOT playing Old Etonian rules, the Brooke–Taylor advance would suggest that it would not be too rude to Dollis Hill at this point in the game.

No, we are not playing Old Etonian rules as I'm not wearing a floral waistcoat.

I'm going to try a bold move that everyone in the room has avoided

Elephant

Could be a foolish move - time will tell

[fisherman]

yeh...

she  don't  do   N  gauge...

(cheaply)....

[fisherman]

can  i use  the   Northern line  and  play  my joker???

You are too good at this.  But i think you could regret that last move.  If it wasn't closed, I would play Blackfriars.  But instead i think we will head for Cutty Sark.

Anyone know how the Cutty Sark restoration is going after that fire a few years ago?

And yes, fisherman, a joker is always welcome to cheer up the misery line!

[fisherman]

can I use  the  DLR  to  check ?

or  the  new   cable car over  the  Thames ??

[Pengi]

DLR moves are gaining in popularity and quite a few have been made in this game.

There is also the Remote Control version of Mornington Crescent which is based completely on the DLR. and so called because the DLR trains have no driver.

[Mustermark]

You can, I am sure, use either (especially as we are not using Old Newtonian Rules).  But there are to be no jokers played on the cable car... We don't want the game to become uncivilized.

It's all done and open 



Visited a fortnight ago, she looks magnificent fully restored yet they've still retained a lot of the old rotten metal inside so you can see what state it was in, albeit with lots of new strengthening added 

Best bit is she's now suspended above the dry dock so you can walk underneath and see the entire brass-panelled underside. The cafe is down there too so you can sit having a cup of tea whilst looking up at the ship and its surrounding blue glass "sea" canopy
