Some brilliant stuff here route wise with 5 non LU trains used (surely a R15 record) and a considerable amount of time spent in Z3
Anyway the winning route was as follows
Vic Line to Kings X
Picc Line to Holborn
Central Line to Chancery Lane (where Tom went dashing off to the exit and I later found out we actually meant to exit as St Pauls )
Central Line to Bond Street (boy was it busy with shopper's here )
Jub line to West Hampstead
Jub Line back to Bond Street (This did worry me as seemed a wasted 15-20 mins but made the rest of the route quite fluid )
Central Line to White City
Central Line to Shepherds Bush - where running blind time wise for LO at 1314hrs was delighted to see a train due at 1315hrs )
I met Peter on the LO platform and after quite moderate 3 min waits to this point we hit a couple of sexy ones
LO to West Brompton
Straight onto District to Fulham Broadway, arriving here a city bound was already in the opposite platform but amazingly it didn't depart until we ran over the bridge and got on board in a 22 sec turnaround
Picc line Earls Court to Green Park
Vic line to Stockwell for immediate cross platform
Northern Line to Clapham North
Northern Line to Kennington
Northern Line to Embankment ( this is a crap station for changing)
District line to Mansion House, passing through Blackfriars with around 2hrs 18mins on the clock and then stopping just outside Mansion House for a couple if mins....
A big thanks to Al, he made a quite splendid BERC

Re: Random 15 - Round 4 - 12th March 2011
My route
Victoria to Oxford Circus
Bakerloo to Baker Street
Jubilee to West Hampstead
Jubilee to Bond Street
Central to White City
Central to Shepherds Bush
Overground to West Brompton
District to Fulham Broadway
District to Earls Court
Piccadilly to Green Park
Victoria to Stockwell
Northern to Clapham North
Northern to Embankment
District to Mansion House
run to St Pauls
Central to Chancery Lane
I had a 10 minute wait at Shepherds Bush for the Overground and this proved critical as it allowed Kevin to catch me up. As he had already done Chancery Lane I knew he had beaten me before I had even finished.

Although Peter did think about tripping me up on the last interchange at Embankment
