IT IS NOT MY JOB TO BLOCK MY OWN IMAGES FROM SEARCH ENGINES! Rather, it is YOUR job to ASK me if you can use it. It's common courtesy.

An idea for an alternative R15 could include the Labyrinth once they've been put up. Everyone starts touching the Labyrinth at the starting station, then you must find and touch the remaining 14 labyrinths of the chosen stations.

I had another idea - jumble the letters of the stations up so competitors have to solve the anagrams before being able to work out the best route - or take a gamble!

An R15 was exactly that, visit 15 randomly allocated stations on the London Underground. No Overground, no DLR, no trains, the UNDERGROUND, after all, this is the TUBE challenge forum.

It's just gone a bit silly recently, that is all... Carry on, I've no intention of being involved so it doesn't really matter to me what silly things you lot get up to!

Believe it or not we still do his... lol. There are simply other interesting and fun opportunities by changing the requirements of the challenge... although some do look more fun than others. Hence the poll, so the majority wins.
