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

Me neither, more of a Gold Cup man myself.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
