This is a twistless round so no nasty surprises, other than TfL's planned engineering work, and any trains that may or may not be in JP that shouldn't or should have run - standard situation really. Long term forecasts indicate that the following will be closed:

Circle: West of Moorgate
District: West of West Kensington
H&C: Kings Cross to Barking
Met: East of Baker Street
Picc: West of Hammersmith
Bakerloo: North of Queens Park

So a few closures to work around! The standings going into this round are:

1] 28 palkanetoijala31
2] 28 greatkingrat
3] 22 tangy
4] 20 Going Underground
5] 16 The Raven
6] 10 snudge27
7] 7 tractakid
8] 6 RichieG
=] 6 hopeful traveller
=] 6 Rhys1995
11] 6 MylesHSG
=] 6 Iain
13] 6 nozzacook

Hopefully the tangster will be able to deputise for me on the day again. Sorted.
Well i hope for at least one of the 2 final rounds we will have the BERC present

Its no big deal as long as someone draws the stations and updates the points that's the most important BERC duties, competing isn't a problem look at the previous BERC's attendance record....After all Bernie Eccleston does't actually take part in the F1 races :wink:

For those of you into some "rare track" it has been noted above that the Picc is closed west of Hammersmith. This will involve westbound trains departing Barons Court as normal but then using the Barons Court "centre loop" to terminate in the usual eastbound platform at Hammersmith.

One bit of LU track even I have yet to traverse!

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Tangy.

Looks like the Northern line north of Archway will be closed as well :evil: Clearly a conspiracy to try and stop me coming!

On the bright side, the Bakerloo north of Queens Park is now only closed on Sunday.

I know we did one of the Claphams as a starting station before - not sure if it was Clapham South or not?

For me to still attend my regular morning activities, TFL's Journey Planner says I could only just get there for half one, which, allowing for delays, would be safer to assume 13:45 which is perhaps unreasonably late. I have already warned of my absence from the music group on this date, so any time is fine, however.

Looking forward to it!
