Cannon Street Run - Zone 1 - 19th September

Post by Soup Dragon »

The long awaited sequel to lasts years smash hit will premiere on Wednesday 19th September. Filming will start at Cannon Street at 19:00 and we are looking for cast members to take part in this lavish production (no acting skills required). Hopefully we can assemble the cast from last years production together with a few new cast members. :)

But avast I hear yea cry, September 19th, ain't that being "Talk like a Pirate Day" me hearties. Why that it be, but ne'r yea worry me landlubbers for thar will be a chance for yea to be coming to the casting festooned in piratey garb. For yea most piratey shipmate thar will be a flagon of foaming ale when we arrive back on land at Ye Captain Kidd in Wapping.

Yeah it's a couple of posts above but you have to trawl down to about page 3 as it didn't start life out as "Cannon Street Run I" it just kind of developed as time went on..... :wink:

i'm pretty up for this. cannon street should be a nice challenge for a z1 and a chance to use some of the less regular stuff such as W&C or the vauxhall-waterloo link. also not done anything on the tube at night yet. can you count on the same service or do you suffer a small reduction in return for emptier stations?

either way, i shall see ye there...

My times tend to be similar day or evening.....That blasted Northern Line always gets me somewhere..... :evil:

It is still a pretty frequent service for the first couple of hours at least.....
