Green Park has been selected as the starting station. The start time is 19:00, rather than trying to meet beforehand I would suggest that you pick your starting platform and you must depart on the first train out after 19:00.

Sadly I wont be able to come now, I've been put down to work. I know it's overtime but I could really do with the money at the moment so I'm pulling out. It's also the reason I couldn't come yesterday (sorry guys).

McD's it is then. Just to make it clear you must visit all station on or inside the Circle Line bottle, plus Marlylebone & Edgware Road (BAK), which is 50 stations in total. You DO NOT have to visit Paddington H&C but obviously you are allowed to visit it if you choose too.

Green Park is such a stupid starting station! I may well pass through it again on my route, so do I keep 2 stopwatches, one for the event and another starting at the first unique station for top times purposes?

I am still yet to confirm attendance though. I want to come.

Your time for the Olympics event must be that from the first departure at Green Park, however you may wish to start a second time from an alternate station but this will obviously not count toward the Olympic event.
I will be doing this after two stops into my attempt on Tuesday.

Andrew I will also be keeping 2 times as I will be going though Green Park again, this is perfectly acceptable for top times purposes. Obviously the actual starting time the 1st time you depart from Green Park counts for the actual event itself...
I agree it an absolute shocker to start a bottle from, couldn't be much worse :roll: Who thew that dart again :?:
