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?

I would say that you should be allowed to wait for your prefered train be it Wimbleware or City

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 :P

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.
