Edit. Ahh, another Western beat me to it! Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: Red Squirrel on November 24, 2018, 16:29:59 2 Basingstoke. Then Exeter.
Edit: St David's, of course Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: JontyMort on November 24, 2018, 16:50:30 2 Basingstoke. Then Exeter. Edit: St David's, of course What's the link? Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: Red Squirrel on November 24, 2018, 16:57:26 2 Basingstoke. Then Exeter. Edit: St David's, of course What's the link? Number of platforms... Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: patch38 on November 24, 2018, 17:01:32 4 - Mornington Crescent.
Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: JayMac on November 24, 2018, 17:08:52 Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: patch38 on November 24, 2018, 17:12:19 Melksham reversed.
Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: grahame on November 24, 2018, 17:18:47 Melksham reversed. Don't see that under any rule set; using a Betty Windsor Line filter may make it a valid move, but of course that won't come into play until there are passenger trains running through Paddington. Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: Red Squirrel on November 24, 2018, 17:29:03 'course, if grahame was a real IT type he would have started the No.2 sequence with Dartmouth...
Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: Western Pathfinder on November 24, 2018, 17:29:35 In which case I'm going to play my joker and use the Pilning Gambit 😁
Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: grahame on November 24, 2018, 17:38:44 In which case I'm going to play my joker and use the Pilning Gambit 😁 Err ... not the sequence I had. Best not get trapped on the Piining Gambit - long wait to the next move. I have five possible solutions and will accept any one of them. Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: Bmblbzzz on November 24, 2018, 17:58:21 4. Slough, Longbridge, Oban, Burnham ... That's the entire sequence, the link being "Sunday afternoon with your feet up on the sofa". :DTitle: Re: Only Connect Post by: Red Squirrel on November 24, 2018, 18:41:28 I've got No.4 - but I'll let someone else have a go!
Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: JontyMort on November 24, 2018, 22:53:24 I've got No.4 - but I'll let someone else have a go! New Mills Central (or it could be New Mills Newtown, we don't have enough data). Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: stuving on November 24, 2018, 23:11:01 I've got No.4 - but I'll let someone else have a go! New Mills Central (or it could be New Mills Newtown, we don't have enough data). Why not Ulleskelf? Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: grahame on November 24, 2018, 23:22:59 I've got No.4 - but I'll let someone else have a go! New Mills Central (or it could be New Mills Newtown, we don't have enough data). Why not Ulleskelf? Or Newmarket or Northampton - both suitable. Not sure why Ulleskelf might fit. Intended sequence is station three letter codes ... left shift and add an extra letter SLO to LOB LOB to OBN OBN to BNM BNM to NM? Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: stuving on November 24, 2018, 23:27:12 Or Newmarket or Northampton - both suitable. Not sure why Ulleskelf might fit. It's a simpler version of the same manoeuvre - start each name with the 2nd letter of the one before,. Ockham rules, OK? Title: Re: Only Connect Post by: grahame on November 24, 2018, 23:37:57 Or Newmarket or Northampton - both suitable. Not sure why Ulleskelf might fit. It's a simpler version of the same manoeuvre - start each name with the 2nd letter of the one before,. Ockham rules, OK? Ah yes - I see. Funny how links can be found between almost any small set ... I wonder if I came up with a random sequence of 4 stations if someone would be able to spot a pattern and suggest a fifth! "Only Connect" any good? - shall I post another set (or set of sets) tomorrow?
