Are we allowed to visit stations by National Rail/Overground?

Yes, but you must go via Coombe Junction Halt for it to count.

I'm really wondering why Warwick Avenue was included, but not something like Ladbroke Grove?

And what about Fulham BROADway? (or Tooting, or Ealing)

Could be! BTW we did also think about including Gardens as well... can't recall the initial reason these weren't included probably because they were borderline and probably just as well now we are attempting this for the first time in an evening :!:

Hmm, does your route go on the third diagonal past the pillar box? That's my secret to get to Mornington Crescent. In the mean time, DOLLIS HILL.

Considering the invalidity of Starkey's move (of course, the correct next move would have been to DOLLIS HILL), I think this should end now. :P

Breaking News: Raven's sub- 4h plans may have been scuppered... forgetting to include a station is not in the rules :P

Chancery Lane. However, if I get a few 0 min a sub 4 hour time is possible.

I prefer to call it Chancery Pain. I have a new variation to re-plan.
