Interesting. Oxford Circus (Victoria Line only) - trapped underground for the time being.

Tottenham Court Road from the south. Underground naturally but tunnelling past [LotUS]

Shall go with Gram's Conjunction and slip through the shadows to Marble Arch

I'll play the Schizoid Tangent with... Highgate, which became Archway (Highate), then Highgate (Archway) to end up as Archway...

And, I note, implicitly invoking the Piccadilly Ruling. Just as well I'm not trying to shunt from Ealing Broadway or we could have another Moon Over Morden incident. As things stand, Essex Road, de-quanging.

Simplicity can be beautiful - Highbury & Islington. Now just look at what has happened.

It's... all... opened up. That's quite staggering. Never in my years have I seen such a wonderful reduction as that. All players are back in ground state, the diagonals are open, all barriers are up, power is back on...

So I might as well take advantage and set up anew at Great Portland Street.

Hold on Lotus, I think Boolbar is onto something and I'm just a tadge bit concerned, are you on the Circle or Hammersmith & City? I won't mention District. I thought we had agreed not to mention the "Moredon incident" , but the damage has been done now. As you know I'm not one to point fingers, but, if JLE could just delay the backwash from the de-quanging for a couple of turns. Stroking on a bounce at Gunnersbury

[Inkspot] In fact he's on the Metropolitan, since the District doesn't serve GPS. The logical ramifications of this should be obvious to you. Backwashes be damned, Swiss Cottage, with a semi-inversion.

Hmm. So, am I presuming that, from the Metropolitan I can make it to Edgware Road? That leaves all the diagonals clear!

I'll see your ER and raise you GR or Gloucester Road.

Holland Park staying clear JLE and the diagonals, he is up to something but not sure what, and perhaps in league with Tuj. Or am I just being paranoid?

I'm certainly not in league with Tuj. On the other hand, when am I *not* up to something? MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHH!!!

Sorry, just had to get that evil laugh out of my system, it wasn't because any plan of mine has come to fruitition.

Yet.

Edgware, driving Tuj off-Road.

JLE] That was very naive of Inkspot, wasn't it? Mind you, I can snatch a podume by leaping off-road over to Bounds Green. Funny that.

[Tuj] Ever heard of the "Poisoned Podume Variation" of the Cripplehead Lateral Attack? If not, I believe you're about to...

[JLE] Nasty! Still it leaves me clear to sweep up a few tokens on the Central Line - Woodford with token extension rule through to Epping.

At last, someone with their head screwed on the right way round, and Boolbar straight away sees something in JLE's play. Very mysterious. I need to dig out my Fronskey Diagram again. Attack being the best form of defense Amersham.

JLE] True, I have now. But I believe that when Inkspot dredges up his diagram it will show the optional spike currently in play which delays the PPV of the CLA until 99 years have passed or all players have died, whichever comes first. And before I start to feel smug, I think I'll be at Dollis Hill for a long time anyway...

Avoiding all of these shenanigans at Shadwell.
