See you on Saturday. I don't like the Grand National anyway.

[MylesHSG]

Me neither, more of a Gold Cup man myself.

[nozzacook]

Have train booked & will be in London very early Sat. I think that means Mc D's for breakfast followed by checking several door positions for a full network later in the year.

[Iain]

Can someone point me to the rules please?

I'm assuming it's the same as a full network in terms of arriving/departing, main question is whether we have to get pics as proof etc.

[Steeevooo]

I believe (unless the rules have changed for the current season) that you don't need photographic evidence, nor is logging compulsary. As you say, "visiting" a station is as per Guinness rules, other than that, it's just a case of timing yourself, planning your route and off you go!

Basic rules are:

- Everyone will be given the same list of 15 randomly generated stations and you have to arrive or depart in the quickest time possible.
- Guinness rules apply in what is a station (e.g. if Hammersmith (Cir/H+C) is on the list then visiting the other Hammersmith doesn't count).
- The clock starts when the BERC (or sub BERC) shouts go at the starting station and stops when you put your foot on the platform of the final station

[MylesHSG]

Yes alright I think I get the message about Hammersmith!

Anyone got a spare stop watch or know where I can pick one up from before Saturday?

[Steeevooo]

Argos is usually the place to go!

Sorry mate it was the first example that popped into my head

I've got a spare one if you need it.

[MylesHSG]

Oh, cheers Glen.

How about Padington?

[The Raven]

Oh, cheers Glen.

How about Padington?

Paddington is split into two. Paddington (Bakerloo/Circle/District) and Paddington (Circle/Hammersmith & City) are separate

Don't forget Edgware Road as well. Edgware Road (Bakerloo) and Edgware Road (Circle/District/Hammersmith & City) are separate.

[hopeful traveller]

You really should just buy a watch with a stopwatch on it, Myles.

[MylesHSG]

Yeah that would be really cool if I was 10

[hopeful traveller]

Yeah that would be really cool if I was 10

I'm not 10 either. It's incredibly useful and, besides, watches aren't a fashion item these days.

[MylesHSG]

Trust me I wouldn't be seen dead with a silly casio. Didn't know you were the definative on whats hot and whats not.
