Your still on the DLR  the newish bit that is, which makes me think I could go to MORNINGTON CRESCENT

Pengi

You could go for Mornington Crescent, if it had step-free access from street to train, but unfortunately it does not.
Just one Pendolino, give it to me, a beautiful train, from Italy

You were unlucky. Livingstone's Amendment to Rule 134.3A states that a move from a station with full step-free access from street to train to a station without full step free access from street to train can only be made if the station preceding the destination station has full step-free access from street to train. Johnstone's 2012 Amendment to Livingstone's Amendment to Rule 134.3A now states that a move from a station with full step-free access from street to train to a station without full step free access from street to train can only be made if the stations preceding the destination station and following the destination station both have full step-free access from street to train. This change was as a result of cuts made to the number of stations for proposed upgrading to step-free because of the recession.

By the same criteria, Chalk Farm is also invalid but I missed it because I was dealing with the following letter from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales

"Dear Bendy,

I noticed that one of your participants who is on the game used an Oyster Card. Surely this is invalid as there is not an R in the month?

Yours sincerely

Mrs Trellis"

As this station has step-free access from street to platform for all three lines it means that Livingstone's Amendment to Rule 134.3A no longer applies but the next move must be to a station with a toilet inside the ticket gateline (Rule 134.3B otherwise known as the Looe's Rule which was passed by tourists arriving from the Cornish hotspot)

I cant think of many stations that meet that rule apart from Barking but I think we have been there already. So I will try Gospel Oak I am sure there is a loo on one of the platforms, well we used it.

I'm going for one of those stations with the male toilets inside the ticket gateline and the female toilets outside the ticket gateline.

Theydon Bois

which, incidentally, was named after the actor who was killed in the opening scene of the film 'Murder on the 4:50 from Mornington Cresecent '. He also had a walk-on part in the farce 'Whoops, there goes my Diagonals' as well as featuring as Lord Puce in the bored game 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Cluedo'.

Strange his late great uncle the Victorian Shakespearean actor Stifford Clays doesn't  have a station named after him, not even on the LT&S.

So I may have to go for the Music Hall comedian Dollis Hill.

Did Dollis Hill appeared alongside the comedy duo 'Totteridge and Whetstone' on Broadway? - well Tooting Broadway to be precise

So Tooting Broadway (which was so named because of 'women of a certain type' that used to parade down the streets)

And Tooting, i believe because the Gentlemen would drive down the street and toot at a Lady that caught his eye.

There had also been scandal of a love triangle between Totteridge, Whetstone and Dollis Hill. After finding out that Totteridge and Whetstone's act had been somewhat infuenced by Oscar Wilde, Dollis Hill went to America and appeared briefly in Vaudeville comedy before slipping into a lonely and isolated obscurity.  She resurfaced back in London decades later where she became acquainted with an old friend of mine, a certain Mrs Nesbit. Which is how I know all this.

But enough of the gossip for now... With the three diagonals open; Fairlop

Cunning, you are trying to get me to declare either Notting Hill Gate which would put me in Nidd. i have also considered Hannah and her Seven Sisters and that would put me in Spoon.

MMs piece of tittle-tattle about dear old Dolly Hill has given me a way out though

I believe that Mrs Nesbit was also the housekeeper to Archbishop Stamford Green who brought humour to the church in the form of the panel game 'I'm Sorry I haven't a Pew'. So in honour of his Grace

Stamford Green

Which opens up another two diagonals!
