I feel kinda weird replying to my own post, but nevermind, lets get this ball rolling...
I'd quite like to have a go at the Tottenham Variations, so I suggest the third Tottenham Variation to start with (as the most basic, for any beginners who may or may not be in the vicinity) and to make it slightly most interesting for those of us who know what we're doing, I reckon shunt rules stand, but that the northern line is wild and obviously Goodge Street scores double on a loop.
So with that said and without any further ado, I'll go first to get us moving and I'll open with Hyde Park Corner.
Hmm. I confess I've not been playing very long, so is this the Tottenham Variation with the backwards Central Line and where the Earl's Court Gambit gets you triple scores on a weekday?
Close, but not quite. The backwards Central Line is the second of the Tottenham Variations only, but the Earl's Court Gambit will get you triple scores on a weekday in all of the Tottenham Variations.
You're welcome to drop right into play, although I'm still unsure as to who my mystery opponent is! :)
Cunning trying to get a better view up there. My poor sence of direction is taking me towards the river but trusting it for once and going to embankment
Good move! I did not see that coming You've probably worked out with that crafty move you've left me with only one option - next station South Kensington. Watch out though, I'm plotting my revenge!
Sorry for the lateness of my reply. I've been quite busy.
Are you boxed? I know you're not blocked, but if South Kensington is your only recourse, you may well be boxed... Or you might just be messing with me. Hmm...

Oh well, Bond Street.

Baker Street, which gives me the double-nudge and shunts me round into Holborn.
