Tubeblock

Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

Yes, I'm in agreement with that.

Shall we start then? Consecutive posts by one player for the same team are allowed in this game.

Yes - my revised version didn't work. We're playing by the old rules until I can come up with something better.

A: Regent's Park and a win!

RE-EDIT: I was uncertain about that for a few moments, but I'm fairly sure now. Where can you go next? Edgware Road station is on the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines. You can't go through Baker Street or Paddington (C/D/B) because they're blocked. You can go through Paddington (H&C) but it's effectively a dead end, since there are no official interchange stations on the rest of the route.

I disagree, if B moves to say Royal Oak, what do you do next? You're not allowed to stay on the Bakerloo line which means B will be able to escape on the next move.

B can't move to Royal Oak, because there's a direct service from Edgware Road - is there not?

Right, as you were. I only invented the game, I don't pretend to understand it :)

Back in the current game, so far we've had
A [The Orange One]: Euston Square
B [GuyBarry]: Angel

Who's next?

Erm, are the two Paddingtons not two separate stations for the benefit of this game?

They are indeed, but that doesn't invalidate what I just said.
