I will let you guys know tomorrow, Clapham South is not a station I frequent at all, so not readily familar with the station surroundings. I need to visit it to find a suitable meeting place for us.

Thanks Martin, is wasn't so much the meeting place as I am sure we can find each other outside the ticket barriers but just the actual start time and meet up pub afterwards...

Unfortunately I'm working until 1pm. Might come up to London for some drinks and darts later though.

...then turn on the light!

Joking aside, down to the serious stuff.

Can we please meet directly outside the main entrance to Clapham South for a 12:30 start. The post challenge meet up will be at Rising Sun, Smithfield.

Now off you go to plan your routes....

Yes, Barbican Thameslink platforms will be getting exactly the same number of trains as they do on a normal Saturday.

I thought that they were actually operating a weekday service, to compensate for the other closures?

The weekday service is the same as the Saturday service as far as Barbican is concerned.


Basically, it no longer has a 'proper' train service. Ever.
