Stations excluded:
Putney
Wandsworth Town
Fenchurch Street
Limehouse (if it is separate - I don't know!)
Essex Road
Drayton Park
Bear in mind you will need to buy tickets out at least as far as Zone 4 in case Marylebone NR crops up - first stop on any service is Wembley Stadium, or Harrow on the Hill (Zone 5). Paddington NR necessitates Zone 3 (Ealing Broadway as Acton Main Line is closed due to no trains going to Greenford).
St Pancras International comprises all services out of St Pancras ie there is no St Pancras Domestic?

There will be only one Limehouse to visit (or not as in this case), as the DLR network is not included within this challenge.The Orange One wrote:Stations excluded:

St. Pancras International comprises all platforms, including the deep level Thameslink platforms (which bears the same name). Only time St. Pancras Domestic is used is for ticketing purposes.

To be clear, LU and NR only merge into one station where if any transfer between the two can be made from behind the same set of barriers.

Re: Random 15 Championship 2013/14: Round 3
To clarify, here is a list of what stations are to be included in the challenge:
--All LU stations in zones 1-2 (all lines open)
--All Overground stations in zones 1-2 (all lines open)
--NR Stations counted as separate from the above: All London Terminals, Battersea Park, Bethnal Green, Brixton, Cambridge Heath, Clapton, City Thameslink, Deptford, East Dulwich, Elephant & Castle, Finsbury Park, Greenwich, Hackney Downs, Herne Hill, Lewisham, Loughborough Junction, North Dulwich, Nunhead, Rectory Road, South Bermondsey, St. Johns, Stoke Newington, Vauxhall, Waterloo East, West Hampstead Thameslink.
Stations closed: Drayton Park, Essex Road, Fenchurch Street, Limehouse NR, Putney, Queenstown Road, Wandsworth Town.
The golden rule is that if you need to exit one set of ticket barriers then enter another set of ticket barriers to transfer to the other network then it is classed as separate. At stations where one can interchange between two different networks without passing through any ticket barriers then it is counted as one station can be visited by any of the above networks included in this challenge.
Examples of the above are: Farringdon, Highbury & Islington, Kensington Olympia, New Cross, West Brompton, Whitechapel to name a few.

Re: Random 15 Championship 2013/14: Round 3
The R15 generator does not recognise the separateness of LU stations with their same name NR stations e.g. the London Terminals, Bethnal Green, Brixton etc.
