From where we can take a bus to

MILL HILL EAST!

(I've found out THAT much!)

Unconventional, but then so's most of the round so far

I see your Mill Hill East, and raise you:

MOORGATE

(Noting that, whilst MC has been passed previously, there are still a lot of stations to be visited)

I'm going to jump in here, and sabotage the game with something that's almost certainly wrong, as no-one's going to bother explaining the rules to me:

EAST HAM

Oh no! Not again! I always get blocked when I'm on the verge of a successful sneak attack on MC itself...

Never mind... Let's go:

WEST HAM

Can I just say:

MORNINGTON CRESCENT

??

you went to edgware twice for heavens sake! of course thats gonna open up noops paths from everywhere to m.c!

whats more, the 2 and 6 reversal is slightly suicidal under tube challenge rules, particularly when warren street is in knife.

Do I win then?

You can utter MC all you like, it won't get you anywhere though, as a lot of stations haven't been played yet, putting you well and truly in knip and netting you three penalty tokens in the process (for lying, cheating and taking MC's name in vain).

With that in mind, I'm gonna head from West Ham down to:

SOUTHWARK (for Waterloo East)

Well seeing as actually explaining what on earth this is all about never seems to happen, and that there are more sets of rules than houses in London, I'm just going to use the "Fat Boy 2005 Light Speed" rules, hi-jack the neccessary trains, get them to go around all remaining stations in double-quick time, and within literally seconds:

MORNINGTON CRESCENT!

Well now... such a play MIGHT be allowable if:

(a) The lines were all physically connected to each other (which they're not), and
(b) There weren't any rolling stock size restrictions on some of the lines (which there are)

SO the hi-jack has to be rendered as an invalid move under the Sixth Strzlecki Addendum, with a further penalty of 5 tokens applying, and so I shall proceed to:

EMBANKMENT

Ah, I failed to mention that I was taking into account the Allowing Rolling Stock on Escalators and Stairs addenum.

Performing a swift Tic-Tac off the Zone 1 "Elephant", I will move post haste to

WEST HARROW

redeeming all tokens from the centre of the map caused by repeated Mornington utterances.

Right, I'll do a quick sneaky west-east double-back move, taking me to:
