Re: The Journey
Jump off the train and out of the station. A flower girl asks "Who will buy my sweet red roses?" You decide that you will. And you attempt to pay with your credit card. Bemused, she asks if you have a shilling instead. Sadly you don't. Now - isn't there a big boat around here somewhere? ...

Re: The Journey
Someone sees you dancing in the timber warehouse and you are carted of to Bethlem Royal Hospital, where you hibernate until 1930, when the building moves to Monks Orchard House. You then walk to Elmers End station.

Re: The Journey
Realising you are about to be caught by a police officer for invalid travel (somehow breaking the law), you start running in attempt to lose him, a delightful bit of saxophone music begins to play as you frantically, if comically try to get away. Suddenly everything flashes by your eyes and you're suddenly transported to October, 1947. You land in, of all places a tunnel very near to Gants Hill tube station. You then walk to the (currently being constructed) tube station, and meet my granddad! He sees you, and offers you a bacon sandwich, which you accept.
Otherwise known as 'Action Jackson'.

Re: The Journey
Actually, Highgate Tube Station of 1930 was the current Archway tube station, so that's quite a walk!! I don't think there ever were any trains from present day Archway to Alexandra Palace.TC95 wrote:Correct, that's why you walked up to ground level to Highgate (GNR), 1867-1954 - valid journey!!
