You guys are amazing. I am learning so much. Thanks especially to Ianzin.
I think I have got an absolutely brilliant move next. The trouble is that GorillaMan seems to be a very good player, so I have a feeling I am falling for a trap. I checked Carlyle’s “Traps for Beginners” and “More Traps for Beginners” and couldn’t find it, so I am going to take a risk. This is exciting. I hope I am right.
I will invoke a demi-alliteration with Neasden, invert and play Northolt.
Good play. Whose turn is it now?
Well done, lynne! You are learning quickly. Let’s keep it simple, and reply with Chigwell. That gives you a myriad options, so try your hand with that.
A most brilliant play- I can see I’m not the only person familiar with the Bigglesworth Rules regarding RAF stations!
Whose turn is it now?
You’re away, I believe.
But who takes the next turn? I’m worried about Tower Hill
Whose turn is it now?
The last valid moves were: Northolt, Chigwell and whatever is played next. I suggest something on the Hammersmith & City line, just for giggles.
Canada Water. With red token.

Sorry. I’m lost again. How did you get to New Cross Gate without a Perivale Pass?
By using the Maida Vale/Bakerloo Hypotenuse Exception (Wotherspoon, p. 84). I thought it was clear enough not to need comment.
The problem is, New Cross Gate is a Limited Service Station (being that it is scheduled for closure in December this year), and being on the South Bank, it does leave one in somewhat of a French Coal-Sack.
Of course, I’m not going to waste this opportunity to play Cutty Sark, which nicely sets me up for an onward jump to Tower Hill- I think you’ll find that Oerlikon held this to be a valid move in the Helsinki Championship Finals in '78, despite an over-ruled protest from Makarov- he had forgotten the Infield Vortex Effect was in play, which is a common mistake but poor form on his part, especially as he’d used the same gambit against Middlemarch earlier in the same match.
Got it. I should have seen that. Thanks.
Bold. I’m not much of a player, but I know enough to think you might get burned by that move.
I believe, if I may introduce the Turbot’s Odd Inversion, that playing Cutty Sark means I’ve had enough alcohol to re-enter the game.
I’ll play Kensal Green.
Since river crossings are wild, I’ll play outfield to Stockwell.
And this gives me the opportunity for a nice lucus a non lucendo, playing the move known as “Tramlines” because there aren’t any tramlines involved: Baron’s Court.
Now I’m just waiting to see if anyone plays the Lyttleton Finesse. 
Shoreditch, sir.
I feel the East London line is underplayed in terms of its overall strategic importance.
Ye god’s, I’m American, and I played Shepard’s Bush earlier, but there’s a Shepard’s Bush on both the Central and the Hammersmith & City! Did the play take that into account?
I realise this is pretty unconventional, but I believe it’s permissible under Redman and Gardner’s proposed amendment, ratified at the Cairo symposium in 2003.
Transverse corner fold to West Ham with alternate blocking options on Barking.
