Ah, now you've ruined it for us all. We were going to discover it for ourselves this evening. Now I guess we may as well just go home to bed... :)

Just kidding. But if Jack didn't think that 'Mo' was a name, there may be a lot of disgruntled listener feedback. More than just Mrs Trellis...!

Oh well, I did enjoy last night's show anyway. And so good to hear our friends from the Hidden Underground story making appearances. I guess the ISIHAC gang must follow our forum!

Why don't we get back to the topic (if you remember it was a game of Mornington Cresent). What was the last valid station (I think it was Stratford High Street). Could someone (tubeguru maybe) please clarify the last valid station.

The last valid move was Stratford High Street by tractakid. I assume he took the spare red tokens for that.

Stratford? That's my favourite 'High Street' station! Red tokens? Yes, but Stratford High St is surely worth Gold tokens...

I'll use the protracted-bisection-leap method to take us to Croxley.

Ooh, good one. Puts me in an awkward situation there, so I'll have to do a backwards shunt to Uxbridge Vine Street.

Where better can you go from Uxbridge Vine Street than Gants Hill? Let's got to Gants Hill.

If there is a station just called "Willesden", then we must have gone back to before 1866.

Lower Edmonton (Low Level).

Where did you get the idea that moves in Mornington Crescent have to be names of stations?

Belgravia

He must be playing Trumpington's Variations. Which means a walk down to Belgrave Walk.

Get in! I can finally play my "River Wandle Spotter's" card.

3 orange tokens allows me to get as far as Pinner.

I followed the labyrinths all the way to Mile End, dodging knip along the way.

And I'll go the extra mile and play Devons Road. Hold on, taking the Devon Diveunder allows me to pull a Devon Resident Card - I have Thomas Bodley.

So I'll have a second spin to Oxford Circus - I believe that means I'm not "in knip" yet.

Gaah! You upset my long-desired attempt to play Sheppard's Shuffle! That leaves me with only one possible place to go:

Queenstown Road (Battersea).

Get out of that, if you can!
