Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

You clearly didn't read the rules properly. Rule (2) says "Wait for a train to run through it". You can't claim the points until a train has run!
Although playing properly, Chigwell.
I wasn't going to play, but just for a laugh I'll pick Swiss Cottage.

He didn't start the clock until 7.27am today. Last night's entry was invalid.

Were there any trains through Holland Park after 9.30pm yesterday anyway? I assumed they would start running the service down before the start of the strike.

I'm already out of the running, according to the Station Master blog. I wish to make a claim on Chesham.

Well you can if you like, although you're around seven hours behind nozzacook and me...

I confess that I don't know who's won this game, though it's more likely to be nozzacook since he had a nine-minute head start. Is there an easy way of finding out?

Yes, but did any trains run last night? I assume there would have been some sort of service after 9.30pm, however limited.

I've just realized that under a strict interpretation of the rules nobody has won this game, since nobody put in a claim for points before the first train on Friday morning. Ah well. Maybe try again next week...

Strike called off, sadly (for this game anyway).
