Trainblock

Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

Defeated twice in a row by Oxford Circus! That was a really bad move. In fact I think Stratford International is probably a station that should never be played.

I'll need to go and rethink my strategy a bit. Enjoying this though!
