The new game proposed by Going Underground. I think I’ll stick to Mornington Crescent.

    Hmmm, not at all convinced that the machines are in the same place on every platform…therefore it would involve lots of organisation or research…darn.

    The Waterloo & City line would work, except that during the break at Bank you would have *plenty* of time to visit every chocolate machine on the platform and saunter back to whichever car you fancied, which would make it significantly less challenging.

    It does have parrallels with other games played in the past, such as ‘at a station stop try and change to the carriage with a working loo’ that you used to have to do on Chiltern 115/116 units… ;-)

    And then there’s the ever-popular “get to the other set in a twin-unit Voyager where only one ‘shop’ is open”.

    Actually, find the working toilet in a Voyager set can sometimes be challenging as well… ;-)

    Brings back memories of the time in the 70s when they used 205s on Cardiff-Portsmouths (3 coaches, one toilet, no gangway!)
