And in a parallel universe, Hampstead Bull and Bush.

A quick trip up the DLR to 'Tower Gateway' puts me back in control - of the gateway to all universes.

As a result of the 'Spanish Solution' being applied to Tower Gateway in 2008, I can go straight to Barcelona and

Arc de Triomf

(Ironically the Spanish Solution was first trialled at King William Street tube station in London in 1890)

Diagonal for a short walk to Casa Batllo; the most amazing Gaudi archtecture. The building was designed around St George and the dragon with the bones and skulls of the dragon's victims strewn around, the roof being the scaley dragon's skin and the cross representing St George. The Art Nouveau interior is one of the most beautiful things i have experienced. Do take a look around while we are here.

It is my understanding from Mrs Nesbit whose aunt disappeared at that station, that they forgot to build an exit from the disembarking platform. A huge government cover up ensued and while the terminus was known as the City and South Triangle to the locals, untold numbers vanished. Thus the original Spanish Solution was a disasterous failure and the station was closed after 10 years amid cries of scandal. Strangely the King William St Pie Shop closed down only a month later. Best pies in all of Old London according to Mrs Nesbit's mum.

Pendy....

are you going to turn this into a book

if you are you jump to Yeovil Penn Mill...

Pengi · July 01, 2012, 04:44:12 PM

I'm going to have to rule Yeovil Penn Mill as Off-side and send you to the sin-bin for 10 minutes as Mustermark did not declare Main Line stations as being Wild at the start of this game.

So back to Barcelona, and from Diagonal the next move is

Para.lel

P.S.

Parc de Montjuic

Rafael Nadal. What a view . . .

We men just cant get away with that these days!

So with the Spanish Solution in hand (a solution of alcohol with citrus and grape flavourings, called Sangria) it is time to take us back to another station that employs the Spanish Solution.

Morden

Platform 1 at Morden now being disused means that we have a spare platform for somewhere that needs it... But where should it be moved to?

edwin_m · July 01, 2012, 08:28:58 PM

A few stops down the line to

Clapham Common

Where there are two tracks but only one platform. Clapham North is the same.

I've had a query from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales, she writes:

"Dear Penge East,

Please can you advise me why all trains are referred to as being female? I do love a steam train. When i was a lass I had an exhilarating ride on Owen Glendower. What a beast!

Yours sincerely

Mrs Trellis"
