In that case, I might have to try a quick DLR before the Comic Relief meet on Tuesday, set a standard!

According to http://londonreconnections.blogspot.com/ Tower Gateway will be reopening this Sunday, 15th Feb. So who will be the first holder of the DLR-40 record?

It probably isn't, although I remember that the opening of the DLR extension to London City Airport was a very quiet affair too...

I might try and sneak up from the yellow corner!

Maybe we should all meet up one evening to compete for the inaugural record?

I'm up for that. The Nunn/Scriven/Karahan team should go out and pick up the new DLR belt to add to our collection ;)

As I can't really go to the pub and play darts afterwards on a solo attempt can I?
You could, but it'd be really, really sad!
