Mornington Crescent

Paddington

And so invoking Hooper's mainline variation I now get an extra go, hence...

[SD35]

Mile End

[Pengi]

A clever, clever move. I can see you were trying to lull me into Tower Hill (which would have put me in Spoon) but I can see a way out of this predicament

ALL SAINTS

[point blank]

WTF
Lets pretend I do know whats going on and throw in
Hatch End

[SD35]

Wow, talk about beginner's luck. 

I was tempted to sweep SotR but sportingly instead:

Hounslow Central

Parsons Green

Main Line stations are wild so it off to

ST PANCRAS

(where there are reports that the French variant, Mornington Croissant, is gaining in popularity because of the Eurostar)

However that would need them to have a sense of humour !

This will keep you occupied for a while
Chorley Wood

(ob puzzle: how to get from St Pancras to Kings Cross by train)

[Gooders]

St. Pancras and then Chorley Wood? I may be old-fashioned, but the only option I can see is Elm Park.

Anyone else not got a clue what this is all about?

If you look at the link posted by Mustermark on the previous page it confirms all suspicions - that it's a random naming of stations with no rules, logic or sense.

Can't see the point meself but it gets some people's post-count up

I  thought i  was the only one who hadnt got a clue about this

I remember hearing it on the radio but never could fathom it.
Superb panel though, and there is a plaque at Mornington Crescent station in memory of the late, great Willie Rushton

[Trainfish]

Willie is dead? I never knew that  I may have to have a beer in his memory.

[Mustermark]

Pendy you have obviously played this before.  Loved Mornington Croissant as a concept!

I must admit to never having  had anyone to play it with before.

So after Elm Park... which coincidentally was also the name of the old Reading FC football ground where i saw Reading play Wigan in the first year that Wigan got into the fourth division of the league.

I am going to try a modern move using an opposing triangulation algorithm and play Lancaster Gate.

There is surely no point in any game other than the fun you can have. A bit like model railways really.
