Andi (118)
Sara
Tangy (Bus driver)
Matt
Sam
Kevin (118)
NeilAndrew Hall (dog)
Garion (Star Trek.?)
Nozza

Would all the people when they have their costumes decided please fill in the blanks Seeing as we are finishing in the top left hand corner does anybody not from London area have a problem getting back to wherever.? I presume Garion will take me up on my offer so we wont have a problem getting back to heathrow area Nozza.? Joe.? i presume Tangy can get back using night buses and probably Matt and sam as well.

NeilAndrewhall if u need to quit the last tube that will get u roughly towards Hornchurch is the 23.59 train from Harrow on hill changing at baker street and aldgate east so u should in theroy at least be able to do 265 stations

18th March.

Yeah we will find a way back by using good old fashioned journey planner or by leaving the car up there the day before.

Romford- it will be easier to get off at Elm Park and get routes 165/365 into Romford. The 365 also has a night version- the N365- running every half hour through the night.

Alternatively, route N15 (from Central London) or route N86 (from Stratford) night buses run to Romford.

For anyone heading back to Heathrow, route N140 runs from HOTH- Heathrow every 30 minutes through the night. Now how to get to Hillingdon...

Well, it would be a benefit for me as I can then get the Oxford Tube bus direct to Victoria straight down the motorway in half an hour!

Victoria is also the first stop for night buses N38 and N73 to Wathamstow, where I can at least get a seat on the bus! Yes, I can board the N18 night bus from HOTH to GPS but then you can hardly get on a N73 (esp. NOT on a Friday night) as it is already full having travelled through the TCR area. Tried this on a previous challenge and was not pretty!

Well the last train to hillingdon from Harrow on the Hill is 0105 so i think you should be able to get back for that with the rest of us.So if nobody requires a lift back then i will leave my car at Hatton Cross if Soupie is happy that way if i have to neil i can give u a lift back if need be possibly tangy too not sure what Nozza plans are i ask him.
