Just a head's up - it's the Lord Mayor's Show parade in the City on Saturday, so expect a LOT of people around those stations in the afternoon.

Is there a starting station bias towards the southern end of the Northern Line? Because we've had Clapham South TWICE in recent challenges and now Stockwell is as far south as you can go...
In the normal non twist rounds, the start station is the first one at the top of the random 15 generator list (or the first picked out of the bucket), so this is just pure random, as was Clapham South in round 6 of last season.

I usually only fix the start stations in the more complex twist rounds where more of the Tube Map is used. Being an east Londoner I would prefer something closer to home but that is the nature of this event.

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

So Clapham South was only picked randomly once, then.
All London buses: 23 hours 25 minutes (with Adham, David, Josh and Tangy)
Holds some alternative challenge records. Not sure which ones.

Tube > mock exams.

The very wise words of Andrew Chilcraft.

Attendance is looking good, can I convince anyone to pop along to Pymmes at 0900 for a nice 5k warm up beforehand?
