Bottle challenge - 24th July 2006

Hopefully this will go without a hitch this time, unlike before ....
Right, good fun ... Z1 rules as always, a random station is picked, in zone 1 or parts of zone 2, I will post a definitive list of possible starting stations.
My attendance is guaranteed this time ... !
Basically, all lines in the shortest possible time, should prove interesting.
It is most likely that it is an 11.15am - 11.30am meet at Oxford Circus station, normal place. Start as near to 12.15pm (or earlier) as we can, hopefully a finish at 1.30pm or so should do well. I will need to dash off at around 2.15pm as I need to do some things in London that day.
Thoughts on it? Any rules that may need to be instigated?

I think you may end up taking a number of months to complete it. Can you guess why?

Does anyone know the similarity between a closed tube line and a bachelor?

I realise why. The W&C is shut and I do know that.
But TBH I'm sure it is perfectly possible to do it without the W&C! It would be different.

I haven't found a decent route for it with 12 stations & 11 lines yet. The W&C links the deep levels in the West with the sub-surfaces in the East. It really is essential for the challenge.
PLUS it isn't REALLY an all lines challenge.

Truuuuee... anyone got any other ideas? (I arrive London at 1049, and I really need to be doing the other things by around 1430!)

I could organise a zone 1 and 2 thingy if you like. Let's do something, anyway; I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.

Sorry, got it a bit mixed up... (The difference is the similarity!)
The DIFFERENCE is: The closed line is WC but a bachelor is single you see!
