Round The World meets Mornington Crescent

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

I'd agree on the Heathrow thing, just count the numbers as letters... makes it more fun :)

I play SUDBURY TOWN by the way

Northwick Park
First to 100000 in the 2015+ Tumbleweed contest. Winner of a few rounds of a diverse range of quizzes/games. Some decent times in alternative challenges as a fiftysomething who merely walks briskly. Briefly led All The Actons.

Yes, that was what I meant to say and forgot!

Also:

The slate wipes clean when a new round starts so stations used in Round 1 can be used again in subsequent rounds.

Hammersmith, Paddington and Edgware Road are Hammersmith, Paddington and Edgware Road (no line suffixes), but can be used TWICE per round.

OP updated accordingly.


Round 2 should have started with Aldgate (round three Aldgate East etc), but never mind!

But it did!

We move to LOUGHTON (probably on the number 20 bus, now I come to think of it).

Apologies - I jumped a line to the next post and thought it had started at Eastcote!
