Andi you can do that if you like but you must start your watch at Imperial Wharf and then visit Clapham Jct and continue to Balham if you desire. The standard rules for any challenge say that you can't start your watch on an arriving train, it has to be the first one you depart on, so in this case it would be Imperial Wharf. Hope thats clear!

If, for example, I was to arrive at Paddington after a trip up from Devon, and catch a Wimbleware train from there, and the train was due to arrive at Putney Bridge between 12 and 12.15, could I stay on the same train but start the clock as if I started at Putney Bridge (ie, when the doors close at Putney Bridge).

That was probably a bad example given the frequency differences between LU and 'heavy' trains... how about boarding a train at Willesden Junction heading towards Richmond or Clapham Jcn, and starting the clock when the doors close at Gunnersbury or Imperial Wharf if said train is at one of those stations between 12 and 12.15, or would one have to jump off and back on the train?

Just an idea

Soup Dragon wrote: Update V2.01 SLAM rulings from everyones favourite TOSA are as follows:

1. Clapham Junction, can be visited by either LO or Southern (on West London line only).
1a. Clapham Jct must be visited by travelling to or from Imperial Wharf (or West Brompton, Ken Oly etc...)
2. ELL is 100% out, lets not try to make the challenge any longer than it needs to be.
3. Starting station, you can start at whichever station you like, but this must be in the window of 12:00 to 12:30.
4. If you decide to start in a station outside the SLAM zone you must start you watch at your starting station and also comply with rule 3. (No Richie, you don't have to step off the train, just start your watch when the train doors close)
5. Tramlink, the tram does not have to stop at each stop, a "Pass Through" would be accepted.
6. Meeting afterwards will be at the Horse & Groom, Great Portland Street
7. Southfields station must be visited by PASS THROUGH
