Mornington Crescent 2017

[MarcD]

from the heart of banking to heart of Government ​Westminster

[Horsetan]

from the heart of banking to heart of Government ​Westminster

 

..where they're all full of themselves. Can't see any other alternative but to move to 

 

Upminster

[45156]

As we're on the up, it has to be

 

HIGHGATE

[DavidB-AU]

Home again home again to Manor House.

[wollastonblue]

I'll see your Manor House and raise you to:

 

Mansion House

[ady77014]

^{I prefer a cottage to a big house so...}

 

^{SWISS COTTAGE}

[Brit70053]

Sven shares your preference for a Cottage, but preferring ladies company myself, I'm off to visit

 

Seven Sisters

[45156]

That's a tricky one, and if I'm not careful, I'll wind up in nip.  So it has to be a Bakerloo Bounce to

 

LAMBETH NORTH

[Horsetan]

.....it has to be a Bakerloo Bounce to

 

LAMBETH NORTH

....and a Lambeth Walk takes the game to

 

North Acton

[Porcy Mane]

Quick hop from Central to District via the Broadway to another compass point?

 

South Kensington

 

Any one for the V&A?

[Horsetan]

....Anyone for the V&A?

 

Victoria

[Porcy Mane]

Which could take us along to:

 

P(B)eckham Rye.

[Gwiwer]

Ah.  I see Septum's Deviation has been invoked.  Back on track via a neat trans-Thames link takes us to 

 

FARRINGDON

No need to explain the next move -

 

Kennington

[Gwiwer]

I'll counter that with a deft by-pass via the City Branch to

 

CAMDEN TOWN

[DavidB-AU]

In what I understand is the leased used move in the game's history, Roding Valley.

[Brit70053]

Which leaves an unmissable opening to use a Rushton anniversary diagonal

 

Mornington Crescent

[Gwiwer]

Bravo Sir.  I didn't see that coming at all

[45156]

Well as a restart and specially for Rick it has to be

 

KEW GARDENS

 

 

 

Subscribers to Early Risers will see the point of that move - and as it is is special significance, it doesn't put the District into spoon either

May I suggest that in accordance with the Sell Selection appendix to Stovold that me invoke it today, and make this a musical round where contributors need to find a suitable song or tune to accompany the chosen station.

[Brit70053]

I could be really cheeky and play Willie Rushton's ditty "Lord Mornington Crescent", (but I can't find the recording)

So to give this round a little more longevity its off to

 

Temple;

 

to hear 'Oranges and Lemons' from the Bells of St Clements Dane.

[wollastonblue]

If music be the food of love, then it's time to move to Waterloo for the sunset. Terry was meant to meet Julie but instead ended up meeting Samantha, who as offered to show him how the scoring of this game works. They maybe some time I fear.

[Metr0Land]

I guess I'll have to take the quickest route home and that's

Baker Street

[Brit70053]

Considered a quick reverse to Waterloo (ABBA) to see if Samantha had finished Terry's instruction yet, but thought it way too soon,

 

So on to : Kensington,

 

to sleep over and await a 'Chelsea Morning'

[bertiedog]

To a chorus of "Lets all go down the Strand", we will "sing as we go" on to "Back to Brixton" by Hijack

 

Colin feels left out in this round as it's all music and no piano, whilst Sven says Colin is all piano and no music. Samantha is still explaining the rules, so her friend Charity is on the score board.
