Random 15 Championship 2015/16: Round 6
Posted: 10 Jul 2016, 22:50
**This random 15 round will also double up as Event 6 of the 2016 Tube Olympics. Therefore as well as the usual Random 15 points for the leaderboard, Olympic medals will also be available for the podium finishers.**
Welcome to the 2015/16 Random 15 Championship. I am your host (commonly known to regulars as the BERC when I am hosting Random 15 challenges). The Random 15 challenge is just that, visit 15 randomly selected stations that feature on the Tube Map and/or London Connections Map (usually within zones 1-2 and using the Underground network only). There will be certain rounds within the championship that are a variation of this such as adding an extra zone/s or network/s e.g. DLR, National Rail onto the challenge and these are known as "twist" rounds.
If anyone is not familiar with the standard rules (or scoring) for Random 15 challenges, they can be read here: http://www.explorerticket.co.uk/tubecha ... 5rules.htm (for regulars the rules are the same as last year).
So let us announce the details for round 6.
When: Saturday 23rd July 2016 at 12:30 UK local time.
Pre challenge meet up point: Notting Hill Gate. Meet in ticket hall, street side of the ticket barriers.
Post challenge meet up: The Bricklayers Arms, Gresse Street (off TCR, the road).
The challenge: Round 6 of the Random 15 Championship is a bog standard "normal" round, therefore stations to be visited will be on the London Underground network only within zones 1 and 2.
Closures affecting the challenge:
District: Earl's Court- Wimbledon
GOBLIN: Closed throughout.
South Eastern: Trains to/from Charing X will not call London Bridge.
Thameslink: No trains between Blackfriars and London Bridge.
Holland Park: Station closed (pass through allowed).
Lambeth North: Station closed (pass through allowed).
Paddington (Praed Street): Bakerloo line platforms closed, Circle/District platforms remain open.
Those engineering works listed are only the closures that might affect the challenge, there are further works (on National Rail) going on in other areas. Please check if travelling from further afield.
This is the last round of the 2015/16 Random 15 Championship, thus will be your last chance to gain points for the leaderboard for this season. Who will be crowned Random 15 champion?
Hope to see you there.
