Due to the time of day and the station concerned, busy with commuters. I suiggest we should meet within the bus station (by the flower stall/cash machines) which is away from the main commuter flows.

I just think meeting in the Joiner Street entrance of the Tube station will be too busy with people heading off home.

As the TOSA has no better suggestion I think we should go with Martin's suggestion. Once we are all in place at London Bridge we can all sychronise watches and head to our starting platforms. As there will probably be different starting platforms we can apply the same rules as Z1 Day, that you must start on the first train after XX:XXpm (given everyone enough time to realistically get to their chosen platform).

Well that was rather an entertaining evening... :D

Sam & Matt, Tangy, Al and Greatkingrat had a 4 way tie for the Gold medal in around 1hr 38ish I think.
Soupy and GU came in 5th 1hr 40mins 05secs
Andi & Sara 6th, 1hr 47mins ish...

No doubt The TOSA will confim all the timings in due course...
