sem34090 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 For a Museum piece you want ALDWYCH (Just down the branch) which is nowadays subject to tours by the LTM, who are based at COVENT GARDEN with their store, more interesting actually, out at ACTON TOWN. Do I get bonus points for having three linked Piccadilly Line stations? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I get bonus points for having three linked Piccadilly Line stations? Well done sir! advance to Mayfair - Mornington Crescent! and do feel free to offer free entry to any of those locations! Nexty round - can I suggest there should be no link at all between the stations. Modern tfl map and all historical /closed locations are initially in play Kudos and points go to anyone who spots an accidental link between successive stations I will throw the dice at ALDGATE Edited June 6, 2018 by letterspider 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sem34090 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I suppose you ended up fallin' asleep on a fast service Dint'ya? Ahem, errr, Yes Sir, and I'm afraid I don't have any money on me.

And with that the board was put up on the platform at Verney Junction proclaiming that that the train, this time headed by a 'H' Class 4-4-4 tank, was to stop at: WINSLOW ROAD GRANBOROUGH ROAD QUAINTON ROAD - change for WADDESDON ROAD, WESTCOTT, WOTTON, CHURCH SIDING, WOOD SIDING & BRILL.

He also knew one other point: by noting down the station names on the board at Verney Junction he had taken the Metropolitan Railway (Or most of it) out of play in the game of 'Mornington Crescent' in which he had been participating... he made sure, however, to only write those stations that had not been played so far in his customary Metropolitan Railway Lake Fountain Pen...
