Pre1974 (and as all experienced players will know) the Whiting-Bellamy
accord was the loophole to get from Euston Square to Southwark in a
Bakerloo line or non-Bakerloo line starting game.


No, that amendment was actually introduced in 1965, to coincide with the
creation of the Greater London Council. It was not widely adopted by non
London players until 1973, when local government reform reached the rest
of England and Wales, finally reaching Scotland with their reforms in
1974.

How could I have made such a schoolboy error and committed it to print?!! It
always catches me out that Pre'74 is in fact Post'65 within the old GLC
boundary. Sorry for any confusion caused.
