I also find it interesting to see how many people seem to be planning on starting by arriving at Clapham Junction. I can't attend the SLAM unfortunately but if I find myself bored I might theorise a route :)

Don't forget anyone planning to start by arriving at Clapham Junction will actually be starting at Imperial Wharf. It's important that everyone understands that as you can't start your watch on an arriving train, therefore the watch MUST be started on doors closing at Imperial Wharf.

Or if your silly enough to want to: at West Brompton if your train doesn't stop at Imperial Wharf. Correct?

Only that the timer starts when the doors close as the train leaves, and that it has to be atrain heading towards Imperial Wharf and beyond, none of the other Clapham Junction destinations :)

I'd say that Richie's interpretation is spot on. You can choose to ignore my flippant question if you wish, because in retrospect it was just that.

I don't think it gives the routes away saying that the Tramlink will be done in one hit, I for one wont be starting at CJ or Imperial Wharf or West Brompton for that matter... :P
Also there are several ways of doing the Tramlink, even in one go..
As soon as 4 people are at the pub then you have enough to officialy start matches that points count towards... So I will be waiting at The H & G for the next 3 people to arrive 8)

I'd spent a little while working on a SLAM route, then realised that it is being held on a Saturday which means that I can't make it due to playing football! I'll certainly head over to the pub after the game though, can't put a time on that though as I don't know if we are home or away yet.
