Tower Gateway
Limehouse
Westferry

This is less hassle than the Northern line closures though.
Also Shadwell DLR is closed (as it is physically separate from the ELL station).

Do we have a revised time limit? I don't think 4 hours will be enough.

I can't seem to exclude Leyton and Leytonstone in the Random 15 generator. Can anyone else check this please.

tangy, I'm not having a problem with the generator.

Silly question: On the first page, you did edit the zones to include zone 3, didn't you, otherwise zone 3 stations won't be in the excludable list?

I have been playing about with the generator, seeing what stations it would give me. I am giving this challenge a maximum limit of 6 hours (giving allowance for the lower frequencies expected on the NLR and possible isolated sections of line.)

Phew I was panicking last night for some reason I though all NR stations were in the hat as well and was swotting up as there dozens south of the river I haven't even heard of!

Just noticed a bug in the R15 generator. It appears that West Hampstead Thameslink is incorrectly listed as a LO station so could be in the envelopes for tomorrow. I think we have two options

1) If the Thameslink station is on the list, you still have to visit it even though it is not on a TfL route.
2) Allow a visit to either the Jubilee or LO station to count instead of the Thameslink station.

The draw has not been conducted yet, so I can ask my independent person whether West Hampstead Thameslink appears in that set.

In that case, it is probably easier just to include West Hampstead Thameslink as one of the closed stations.

The draw has been conducted, but before Edgemaster's latest update to the R15 generator, so the SLL and DLR Stratford Intl. branch will not feature.

That's a shame.
