It removes a fair few options, except there's a number of Waterloos, Westminsters and stations actually on the Victoria Line (Victoria and Green Park crop up a fair few times).

The same thought had occurred to me! If someone asks "Have you just moved from station X?" and the answer is yes, then I'll accept it as a win.

By all means start another standard one - this is a bit of an experiment, so I'd rather see how it works out before anyone starts another one. (It may well be that this format is too hard to solve under the current rules, in which case I'll give some extra clues.)

Can you catch a direct normal service to Stockwell ?
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.

Could your imminent one-stop move potentially leave you diagramatically above ("north of") the River Thames) ?
