I was not going to allow this but I am flexible here, the original plan would have been to allow people to leave a station for physical needs on condition that they re-enter the station where they left it.

If I do allow this in the rules then I will also allow Hammersmith & City to and from Bakerloo to count as an interchange at Paddington as they are both part of the complex. I doubt anyone will take this up though due to the long run and infrequent services on the Hammersmith & City line.

To be honest, if I'm on the Sub Surface and I want to go to Paddington, and a Hammersmith and City pulls in, you can bet your bottom that I'll take it and just grin and bear the thought of a run.

I was thinking allowing a change to count at Earl's Court between the main District line and Wimbledon - Edgware Road or Kensington Olympia - High Street Kensington routes as the stations are different in both directions so if you arrive at Earl's Court you may change from the main District line to a route via High Street Kensington or the Piccadilly line.

Can you arrive at Earls Court on a District from Victoria and Earls Court being your last interchange to do then catch a train to Olympia and thus finish?

No, interchange is only allowed between the main line and the routes I posted above if you are arriving from or leaving for High Street Kensington.

Personally I don't think District->District changes at Earls Court should be allowed in order to be consistent with all the other sub surface lines. Make everyone run down the escalators to the Piccadilly!

This is exactly what I wanted to do but did not think anyone would agree with me so with that I have decided that District to District will now not be allowed at Earl's Court.

The elevators would be quicker than both though if you got in just before the doors closed?

Most interesting! While recceing this May, I and Lars walked to the bottom of the Walthamstow Central parking lot in hope of finding a shortcut to Queens Road Station. We didn't find any. :? Is this where the hole is supposed to be? Otherwise, I wouldn't find it particularily useful, or am I missing something?

there was a hole some scallawag cut through the fence to go to the housing estate just before july on a recee route.And we had the idea of a ladder on the fence to go over into the parking lot it would have saved us 2 minutes at least.I think it has been repaired though :(
