Gadzooks! The only way to break a time lock is to backflip...

huh, what, where? What happened?

And, more importantly, why the devil am I in Pimlico.

Using a reverse warp-shunt to enter the game at Goldhawk Road.

I'll put one paisley token in the pot early, in expectation of neek occurring before the game finishes.

I seem to have dozed off, and am jolted to wakefulness to find myself at Liverpool Street.

after also being caught in El Shoggotho's time lock i have only just managed to break though to the present time. Being stuck in 1640s London was no fun !!! No steam trains I'll have you know !!
Bah, back to Old Street.

But at least I'm back  ;D

Now, see, this is what happens when you get frozen in time on a train.  You end up in the middle of nowhere, like I am, in Amersham.

Could've been worse I guess.  At least it wasn't Verney Junction this time. 
Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

Or like me at the end of the line at High Barnet

Hmm, interesting tactic.

I throw my hat in the air and upon landing I find myself at Tower Hill

As Chairthing for this round (and yes ...... I checked, as it's been so long) I must inform all players that there appears to be some form of gigantic burrowing mechanical mole that has bust through onto the tracks at Farringdon !!!!
It's now lying completely a - Crossrail !!!!

Do be careful out there.
I urge the use of the Smillock standard type 9 blunderbuss, should one rear up in front of you in any other tunnel !!

Good hunting gentlemen :)

After a brief sojourn down Oxford Street in order to procure myself a suitable armament (by which I mean a Burleigh and Stronginthearm repeating crossbow, which I understand I am entitled to make use of through my regulation brass farthing) I arrive at Euston Square.

Hmm. Only two options open to me now, according to addendum 147/c, if I want to keep my Neek bid.

I will ignore the yeti warning and head to Baker Street

I'm going to take a big gamble here, and use the triple snacket weave to move to Camden Road

I'm nearly sure it will work this time. If it doesn't... well, I'm sure some kind soul will stop by with a particle accelerator and a decent pair of jumper cables.

I'll exercise the 1977 Picadilly Line bi-law to enter the game at Russel Square with 3 blue tokens, 5 red herrings and 2 scoops of chips (no vinegar, allowing for an inter-station seat swap should I feel the need)
Still here, just quieter

Ahh.  Oh dear.  I got off my train to find myself on a ramshackle timber platform about 10' long in a deep cutting with the remnants of a station evidently long closed strewn about me.  I can only assume I am, therefore, stuck at Marlborough Road for the foreseeable future  :-\

Huh, wha? Must have dropped off. Where am I?

Judging by the elderly and decrepit men at arms around me, and the doddery old fella on a throne and the fact I've just been handed a goblet of coke I must be at Earl's Court.

And for those of you in the know:

Spoiler: ShowHide
 Yes, I am currently reading (and thoroughly enjoying) Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. I should probably make more of an effort to read his stuff.

What a coincidence, my good man, running in to you here at Earl's Court. Given that you have coffee, I have fish and it's Wednesday in Zimbabwe I believe I forego one token and you are required to buy a better overcoat if you wish to use the Metropolitan line

Damn, well that's me out until I can get a new overcoat and therefore must miss a turn.

Somebody threw me down a ladder, so I'm no longer stuck on a rickety wooden structure surrounded by railway track. 

Unfortunately this means I too must miss a turn, and now find myself at St John's Wood.
