Staying on the Main Line, Barking, via Upney.

This is a case for the 1888 edicts. By royal decree, I end up at Whitechapel, as sober as I can be.

Will have to get my map off the old computer to continue!!

James Harrison

Where was I?  I'm sure I wasn't covered in quite this much dust... I blame the construction works at my last place. 

Onwards to Farringdon, anyway. 
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.

Mercury Wells

Not sure, if I should continue this rubber or start anew.?

Anyway...I'll place a small peacock's feather on St. Paul's and re-route my good self to Kensal Rise.

Oh...my old war wound? I got that at The Battle of Dorking. Very nasty affair that was, I can tell you.

I have lost my map, so will have to generate a new one before beginning my journey anew! Can't explore mapped territory without a map - at least, not effectively!

James Harrison

I see we got held up by the construction works on the Elizabeth Line... What's that you say?  Delayed by another year?  Dash it, let's just get on with the game... I throw in the contents of my pocket (a 1965 shilling, a lot of lint and an exceptionally soiled handkerchief.... well it has been stuffed in there for two years) and move to Borough.

Hmmm!, so to Victoria huh? Then I'm allowed to invoke rule 12 of the late Meiji ruling, published 1920 (and before you all get your knickers in a twist, I did mention is was "late").

Don't wait for me, I may be a little time ... shopping you know!

Dead but not forgotten. It's high time we revived this game. That will require some powerful necromancy though, and as I understand it from the 8th edition rules necromancy can only be performed at Clapham Common.

And so there we shall begin.

Climbing aboard at Clapham. I'm lacking a map, so I'll just have to go with the flow for a bit. I just wish this witch doctor beside me would stop hitting me with his shrunken head. What madman invoked the necromancy clause from the Borneo Gambit?

I'm not 100% sure I even understand what's going on, but if we're all on at Clapham, then I suppose I'll ride until Wandsworth? (If I misunderstood the directions, I apologize)
Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it. Send me to the rear! Where the Tides of Madness swell, and men sliding into Hell...

Oh please don't let these shakes go on...

The Corsair

ugh, I mean I guess I can work with Wandsworth. I'll take the transfer at West Brompton to reach Earl's Court. The rest of you can figure out what to do on the overground line.

Oh, dear...

I got off at Clapham High Street, but worried a hole in my pocket waiting in the que, and now have to busk with my harmonica for change for the ticket to Clapham North on the Northern Line as per the ruling on such mishaps in the 122nd game played atop Mt Everest...

Gotta dig my map out again and see where's where? Are we including the new line - I watched a few programmes about digging the tunnels & so on?

Well I guess I have an opportunity to slide up to Paddington where I'll set up a three-card monty racket. I'll see what that turns up for next round...

Just a short hop to Hammersmith.
