I know I'm late to the game, but in the sixth-post in (PFW's "Blackfriars") there was a clear breach of the 'Double shunt when travelling south' rule, meaning that all moves since that point are invalid.

In which case, I'll execute a blocking move for everyone approaching Goodge Street from the South, and take us instead to ... Finsbury Park.

Oh no! :shock: How could I miss that?

Fortunately, there was a ruling during the last world cup (Argentina -03) by the international federation where it was stated unambigously that all protests must be filed within 24 hours of an alleged offence. You surely must remember the incident I'm referring to?

Sorry Geoff, I'd say you're a bit late - but it would have been a brilliant move...

that wasn't the international federation - it was an idea spawned by the argentinian board who organised that world cup, but it only stretched as far as to cover the whole of south america, mexico and i think parts of walthamstow. therefore, geoff's protest is perfectly valid and correct, i will respond by saying perivale :P

not that it matters, but need i say any more... the argentinians DID manage to rule that move out in 2000, as any fule kno :D

Hmmmmm - Grunwald following Strzlecki is a nice try, but no match for Murgatroyd's Shank which takes me to...


CROXLEY!!!

Following the Shank aptly with a triple-Hammersmith somersault switchback, as Barking is now in knip, I take us all the way to

hahaha! upminster! its not just barking but the whole district line that's in knip following croxley being played after the forced terminus response to a strzlecki call, particularly one that counts as boundary zone 3 on some services.

so i can now spice this thing up hugely... CHESHAM. haha!

Very cunning use of the Abercrombie Amendment applying to early morning and late evening Piccadilly trains at T.G. while the District is in knip!

I shall just have to follow that with -

Doubtless all this circle line crossing is going to expose the shortcomings of the somewhat dubious Camden Contortion which I've been relying on up to now.

However, whilst reading "Trellis: My Life In MC" last night I was struck by her tale of a tournament from 1967, in which she performed THREE Contortions in the space of ten minutes, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Anyway, I digress.

We now have TWO stations used twice within the same game - under the rules determined by the Caversham House conference of 1927 (see appendix XVIII section 187.9.3), each player must now return to the nearest end terminus:

The appearance of Endgware therefore takes the District line out of knip, but due to the Vauxhall Loop Gambit seen indirectly ten moves ago, both Edgware and Edgware road, as well as Theydon Bois, are now held in Contempt.

Since the diagonal through Euston cannot be cut, I defiantly play

Hmmm ... it doesn't appear clear to me whether this train will call at Parsons Green or not. It's never been cleared up to anyone's satisfaction.

What I DO know is that this train WILL call at:
