Advent quiz- day 4 - "Pilning" - round 1

[whole diary]

[grahame]

A little different today - we're going to play a game of "Pilning".  We'll follow the rules of "Mornington Crescent" using the Shapps extension which allows new station projects in marginals.  Unlike the usual quizzes, members may post to this thread as many times as they like; you are encouraged to explain any unusual moves as not everyone extends the rules. 

Should you post a move which places us at the bar in The Plough, please start a new thread for round 2.  I'm off for much of the day to help manage a road closure for Santa!

Fine by me but in that case I'll submit Midsomer Norton (South) as being included in the Greater Radstock Fare Zone.

Well if that's where we're going then: Midsomer for Causton, but avoiding the lead pipe

Bearing in mind the need to close this out in due course while still in a Pilning service day, I'm going to warp over to Cowbit to start getting us closer.

OK, let's closer still: Old Oak Common HST^▸ (High Speed Train) depot, and specifically the conference room on the first floor of the portakabin building

Getting closer now.....o-oh....Henbury Loop!

Time I played my Joker aka the Grayling gambit ! Dent.

This is my last shot because I've had my Horlicks so I'll take a risk: take the Aldenham extension skipping Edgware and ... MORNINGTON CRESCENT!  But I may have been caught out by the catchpoints so I'll have to wait and see what Humph's ruling was when I get up in the morning.
