Yes, I'm in agreement with that.

Shall we start then? Consecutive posts by one player for the same team are allowed in this game.

A: St James's Park

So now we CAN start in Zone 1?

Yes - my revised version didn't work. We're playing by the old rules until I can come up with something better.

A: Regent's Park and a win!

RE-EDIT: I was uncertain about that for a few moments, but I'm fairly sure now. Where can you go next? Edgware Road station is on the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines. You can't go through Baker Street or Paddington (C/D/B) because they're blocked. You can go through Paddington (H&C) but it's effectively a dead end, since there are no official interchange stations on the rest of the route.

I disagree, if B moves to say Royal Oak, what do you do next? You're not allowed to stay on the Bakerloo line which means B will be able to escape on the next move.

B can't move to Royal Oak, because there's a direct service from Edgware Road - is there not?

Right, as you were. I only invented the game, I don't pretend to understand it :)

Back in the current game, so far we've had
A [The Orange One]: Euston Square
B [GuyBarry]: Angel

Who's next?

Erm, are the two Paddingtons not two separate stations for the benefit of this game?

They are indeed, but that doesn't invalidate what I just said.
