It's been a while, so anybody for a game?

I'll start. No diagonals and of course looping below an overground line is only allowed on low voltage lines.

South Kensington

Are we taking into account the Swedish Inversion Rule?

Controversial, especially after the recent Whimstanly Jones incident.

Seeing as the rules are defined, I'll reply to your South Kensington with a Regents Street, because that is bridging Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus. So it is an absolute definitive Lateral, which you can reverse on if the situation is right, so you have a double value. It is a Bridger, and it is a Lateral, a very useful one early on.

From Regents street I'll use the old Travofski flourish to New cross gate.

Good move, you've obviously played before.

Knightsbridge (employing Shaftesbury's Dismount)

(I'll admit, I used the computer to help predict the best next move)

Ah, the Shaftesbury's Dismount, a perennial favourite.

Turnham Green, obviously using the Forthwick defence in response to the flagrant abuse of the Windsor decision.

I'm not so sure, matey.
There's not a stop called Regents Street.
There is one called Regents Park, but not Regents Street.
Not even Regent St.

Very shrewd Mrs Kat, but you expect us to believe you dont have an understanding of MC after a double shift via a replacement bus service to Upney?

Green park, which of course places the circle line 'stand off' in effect.

Zackly so, young Tristan.

*bites lip in confusion*

I'm too old to work out whats going on.
My brain hurts, I've been spending too long consoling the tearful and bereft Esteemed Daughter today.

Blackwolf, I think if you talk a lot of old cods about methods of getting from, to, on, off and around the Underground, in a fanciful way, then you might score points, and maybe you might unwittingly do something so spectacular that the usual participants will be forced to render you king of the game for this evening.

I believe that's probably the line of logicality you have to pursue.

It's perfectly simple, I just found a move for onward travel from District which avoided an inside circle (this would have allowed uncontrolled diagonal movement). Wapping completed the loop nicely.

Oh God, I've Wiki'd it ... that's too much reading for this time of night.

However ... : having glanced briefly at the, erm, information therewith...

I shall attempt a pincer movement into the game, by edging cautiously across Hanger Lane Gyratory, clutching a tattered copy of a 1952 A-Z and invoking Brockelbank's Methodology against Stinkwheel's illegal move Shocked
