I'm happy with that.

Shall we go with this then, or would you prefer 15 from 20?

I will try and sort the stations if you like, what meeting time is good for everyone?

Right having thought about this an R20 or 15 from 20 in Z1 is probably not going to make much of a challenge either...

So if no objections I willl do a 15 from 20 including Z2..... We shouldn't have any time issues as we have done evening R15's before and this twist in unlikely to add any time...

OK 20 Stations generated and in sealed envelopes 8)

Just Z1-Z2 Tube stations only, pick any 14 from the remaining 19 on the list

Meet time 6pm, unless anyone that wants to attend needs a bit more time?

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

Is Olympia in the hat? I guess it will be possible to visit it on one of the two evening trains, although I suspect most people will skip it if it comes out!

Of course I am only 20 minutes away from the start via the Chingford line. All should be well (though not if traffic is anything like tonight)!

Yes all Z1 / 2's in the hat, I was only thinking the same myself about missing out should it be on the list!

BTW I have 7 sealed envelopes, can do more if attendance list grows...

Interesting everyone missed the same 'ports' out. I may have been tempted by Kensal Green instead of Tufnell Park...
