I'll second the above as it really does influence if I can make it! If I can make it, I'd like to get on and book some coaches, or better still some dirt cheap last minute train tickets. While the latter are more unlikely, I accept, it does still make a difference. Thanks in anticipation.

Apologies for the hold up, but my printer was out of ink last night, so I'm having another crack tonight. As soon as I have the starting station I will let you all know.

I would say that the starting time should be between 1200 and 1300, I will confirm once the starting station is known. I guess everyone prefers an earlier start in order to try and complete during daylight?

The pub afterwards will be the Rising Sun, as posted by greatkingrat.
One day I shall return!

Well personally I'd prefer it if I could leave home in the daylight, however I do accept that I'm a minority (and perhaps a minority of one) when it comes to this actually being a deciding factor which influences us! I also accept that if the start time is delayed especially for me, I see less of all you lovely people in the pub afterwards. Therefore I'm going the whole hog in saying that if I get the coach I should arrive at Golder Green 0940, so we can start any time after then for me!

I'd prefer both a late and early start time based on starting station.
a) to maximise my chances of getting there from a possible late-finishing quarter peal possibly at Walworth,
b) to maximise pub time before heading back to South Ken to change into a dinner suit before making my way back to East London for a dinner...

Okay the starting station is Clapham Common for me this is very easy coming up from the South Coast and I can avoid the usual weekend mayhem at Victoria, so I would be happy with a 12:00 start, but I'm open to a bit of debate over the start time.

If you are not working then you have no excuse. Besides it will be good practice for your solo Full Network attempt.

Sadly, I won't be in attendance this time around. I've only just been to London.

I rear-cabbed a Class 395!! :o :D

Nope, they've built a temporary crossing using the old marshalling yard at Feltham.
