How many moves did it take you, and what rules were you playing?

Via Umpteen random stations over 40 years  Grin. As for the 'final move, I just happened to be returning from Camden Town to Angel and discovered that Camden Town is 'Exit Only' on Saturday afternoons in February and March - so it was a brisk walk down the Camden Road to the next available station  - forgetting that Mornington Crescent is not actually on the Bank branch! As for the rules - no rules allowed.   Grin

Hm. Stipulating "no rules allowed" means a default of Tudor Court Rules, which can be soft or hard, like Brexit (and a few other things).

I remember Humph explaining that the Tudor Court Rules were rather harder, simply because the Underground system was much smaller in those days.  Grin

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Indeed.   That's before it was re-engineered up from a MailRail profile.

He also claimed the area was restricted due to plague.

She wasn't there. She had promised to help a gentleman restore an antique chest of drawers. Apparently, Samantha is in charge of polishing, while he scrapes the varnish and wax off next to her.

Ref postings immediately above this one: 
I have been known to choke and nearly drive into the back of another vehicle listening to this sort of thing while on the motorway.  Of course I don't really understand it ( Roll Eyes) but I think the contributions here might be worthy of broadcast.

I'd heard Samantha had to nip off to meet her new gentleman friend who's been ringing her all day in a grumpy mood. Despite being very busy, Samantha says she can always find time to handle his testy calls.
