Last Train

"This article refers to the Bridge terminology. For the British TV Drama serial, see The Last Train".

In the card game Bridge, Last train refers to the bid just below game level in the agreed suit. Such a last train bid is typically made in a bidding in which one of the partners has denoted slam interest.

A survey in the magazine "The Bridge World" showed a strong consensus approving the Last Train convention, with the following definition:

The convention is named after the Monkees song "Last Train to Clarksville". The convention was both devised and named by Jeff Meckstroth.

Examples

1♥ - 3♥;

4♣ - 4♦

The 4♦ bid suggests to partner extra values (i.e. 3♥ was at the high range), inviting partner to consider slam exploration.

1♠ - 4♦;

4♥

The 4♥ bid asks responder to consider bidding slam with extra values (4Diams is a splinter bid showing 4+ Spades).
