• The Man from Auntie: Crossharbour and London Arena, initiating manual control of DLR.
• Jrs: Leytonstone [IS,P] Just because Parks and Greens are in play doesn't mean you have to use them. Indeed, tactically , a refusal to follow the convention at that point is sometimes best. See Gore - fFich, (1956).
• Projoy: Lambeth North
• Yer Mom: North Harrow
• I Say, Porter!: Harrow-on-the-Hill. [Jrs] Before my time, that. Must get myself updated.
• Jrs: Ongar [IS,P] Try the second hand book shops on Charing Cross Road. The stuff you can find in there is sometimes amazing.
• Hugo Rune: Oval
• CdM: Burnt Oak
• Projoy: Barons Court
• Jrs: Moving further afield Coventry
• Projoy: Camden Town
• CdM: Tottenham Court Road
• Projoy: Camden Mews - getting dangerously close here.
• Jrs: Mudchute.. getting further away again.
• I Say, Porter!: Mor

• Raak: Moor Park
• CdM: Prince Regent
• I Say, Porter!: Regent's Park.
• Jrs: Plaistow
• PaulWay: Waterloo, doubling Frin's Coefficient.
• I Say, Porter!: Cunning move there by the master, moving away from alliteration to beginning-with-the-last-letter-of-the-previous-station. Oxford Circus.
• CdM: South Wimbledon
• Projoy: If that's the way we're playing now, North Wembley. Try that for size!!
• I Say, Porter!: There's no hope..... Wait! Of course! Yooston.
• Jrs: Hmmmm... North Acton
• I Say, Porter!: Popular game, this. North Ealing.
• Projoy: Grange Hill
• CdM: Leicester Square
• Jrs: Southwark
• I Say, Porter!: Hang on, Grange Hill - Leicester Square - Southwark? I was rather hoping for Leicester SquarE - East HaM - MC. How about Elephant & Kastle following from both previous moves?
• Jrs: [IS,P] You didn't think it was going to be that easy did you?
• I Say, Porter!: [Jrs] No, but given that only you, me, and CdM have posted anything to this game in living memory, I was hoping we could let it die with dignity. I notice you didn't feel up to following on from my Elephant & Kastle...
• Projoy: Eastcote
• I Say, Porter!: Elm Park
• Projoy: Kennington
• The Navigator: This is actually going to be a tough one to end legitimately (assuming we use only tube stations) As IS,P suggests, there's East Ham, the easiest lead into MC, but there are practically no alternatives. We can rule out Balham (what station ends with 'b'?), and thereby also a Bromley-by-Bow - West Ham sequence. Something similar applies in the case of Ickenham, too, as far as I can see. Chesham is more promising, I suppose, and Amersham could lead off East India --- Aaaah! I have the answer...North Harrow
• I Say, Porter!: Oh, go on, then. West HaM
• Jrs: Oh alright then, Mornington Crescent

• Jrs (Winner's Comments): I think shared points all round for that one, as it was a committee decision to finish off.
