Passengers entering at Hammersmith are directed onto one train, whilst another departs "empty" to pick up the waiting passengers at Goldhawk Road, Wood Lane etc. therefore spreading the load between two trains rather than all cramming in the first.

Yes- but how to tell then? The other service wasn't cross platform so a quick dash wasn't to be had.

HELLO TANGY! Results would be appreciated...

Yes, I am aware of the results needing posting, very busy with personal business the past couple of days. I will post them up later tonight.

The all important results which you are all hanging on for dear life to see are revealed below.

We had 14 challengers in 12 teams, so in reverse order:

**The tie for 6th place between Glen and Myles really is a dead heat as they both finished to the same hundredth of a second, despite finishing at completely different stations! The time for both was 02:11:18.31.

Sounds interesting. Looking forward to it. I may have to stay in the city for the night instead, so I dont have to rush in the darts game

Well, unless the twist turns out to be something ridiculous, here are all the closures:

Central: Queensway to North Acton
Usual Thameslink/Southeastern palaver at London Bridge

Station Closures:
- Royal Oak
- Holland Park
- Shepherd's Bush Central
- White City
- East Acton
- Covent Garden westbound
- TCR Central Line

Verdict on closures:
Will enable me to travel on rare Queensway crossover. Central Line frequency is likely to be much reduced through the centre. Quite possible that service will be curtailed to Marble Arch. North Acton will be a pain in the neck if it turns up (10 minute service up each of the branches!), and might well see widespread use of rail replacement buses should it arise.

As for other closures, business as usual, except Royal Oak, which is not too interesting, especially now Royal Oak to Warwick Avenue has gone out of fashion. Also, no Overground closures! This was certainly a good date to pick.
