Just noticed that the Northern Line will not be stopping at Moorgate this weekend. I assume a non-stop pass through is acceptable although it might affect some peoples routes if they wanted to change to the Circle there.

I guess most people will be stopping at Moorgate on the Circle anyway, unless they were planning some clever run from Barbican.
Another rules question - do you have to take the first train e.g. if the first train is for Edgware Road can you wait for a City train or vice versa?

Sorry guys i won't be able to make it this Saturday. Big shame as I really like the look of this challenge, could be a lot of fun, but unfortunately i'm going Paintballing for the day so that kinda trumps this

I'm hoping to still be able to get down to this, if Andi is still happy for me to trail round with him.
Unfortunatley I won't know until tommorrow when I've managed to go into my bank. I am having a bit of trouble with them and might need to make an appointment on Saturday which will have to come first. Will let you know.
