Am I interested? Well, I'm always interested in any tube-related challenge.

If I'm available, I'll try and make it. I probably won't know until the 30th, or thereabouts...

I'll let you know.

If you reserved one. I've only got 14 left and a lot of those haven't got booklets yet.

10am is actually a terrible time to do a challenge attempt. This is because the peak trains have just been removed from service, and the service is also often getting itself back into order from rush hour induced delays. This can result in long gaps in the service. I attempted a Z1 challenge at 10am once, and had to wait at least 3-4 minutes for EVERY change!

We would have come top 5 if that section had been open!

I'm busy helping out another attempt, but I may fit the Z1C around it. We'll see! If I can go, then yes. We should work on our route though.

Possibly doing a 275 next week, but if not will try to get there, despite the fact 1000 hrs meet means travelling at peak rate through rush hour :(

Any reason the "meet back" needs to be at Kings Cross though :?:

We could be arriving back at times over an hour apart, so would'nt a pub in central London or something be better :wink:
