Unconventional start... Tangy wants a lie in and we're starting at Walthamstow Central, aren't we.

The fortunate winning route, having waved goodbye through the window being a train down on most of the teams

Kings X
Baker St
Swiss Cottage
Baker St
Queens Park run to;
Westbourne Park
Edgware Rd
Bayswater run to;
Queensway (Lucky that lift at top and we dived straight onto closing doors on Central Line following a good and late decision not to stay on until NHG)
Bank
DLR to Shadwell
LO to Canada Water
London Bridge
Stockwell
Pimilco

Not major delays so was lucky to be in right places at the right times....

Yeah, we changed at Stockwell. I've edited my post.

Well done on the darts, your throw was looking pretty good tonight

Thanks!

Interesting that you changed at KX and Baker Street to get to Swiss Cottage. I would have thought that changing at Oxford Circus (and Baker Street) would be better, as you don't have to change between sub-surface and deep-level twice. Especially with the Met being up, so a lower frequency on the north side of the Circle line.

I suppose lack of thinking time being as we had one stop to make a decision was the factor!

No, that's not it. You go via KX and Baker Street because Great Portland Street is on the list, surely.

Oh. Yeah

LOL yeah that was it

amazing!

My route

Highbury & Islington King's Cross St Pancras Holborn Bank London Bridge Canada Water London Bridge Stockwell Warren Street run to Great Portland Street Baker Street Swiss Cottage Bond Street Queensway run to Bayswater Edgware Road Westbourne Park run to Queens Park Kilburn Park

All went well up to Bayswater when I had a 6 minute wait, then just missed a train at Edgware Road and had another 9 minute wait.

Steve & I

Highbury & Islington King's Cross St. Pancras Holborn Bank Shadwell Canada Water London Bridge Stockwell Warren Street bus to Great Portland Street Baker Street Swiss Cottage run to South Hampstead Queens Park Kilburn Park bus to Westbourne Park Edgware Road Bayswater run to Queensway Marble Arch.

The only victory was being first back to the pub! (bar Myles)

Unconventional start... Tangy wants a lie in and we're starting at Walthamstow Central, aren't we.

I was think that it might be Wathamstow Queen's Road, and then I realised it couldn't be as its shut.

I then realised it could be and the fact it is closed is what makes it unconventional!

Oh, if we can start at closed stations, perhaps it'll be a Holland Park start... or maybe not; we've had enough of that with the Tufnell Park Challenge.

Perhaps we'll start in the middle of Burgess Park and have to trek out to a train station. Perhaps we start at the top of the Fire Monument. Perhaps we do one of Rhys Benjamin's suggested twists and start at Rayners Lane. Perhaps we start on the Dangleway. Perhaps we start at a station that isn't one of the 15. We don't know. We know only that Tangy will keep us hanging until the last moment.

I reckon you'll have to start at Crystal Palace, and yet none of the 15 will be on the Overground. Or Battersea Park!
