Does Blackfriars (NR) count (it has entrances both sides of the river)? Blackfriars (LU) is clearly North.
I would suggest that we start earlier than usual (1130?) as this could take quite a long time if a bad set of stations comes up

In terms of the post challenge venue, perhaps this might be a time to try some new Zone 1 darts pubs, particularly ones south of the river.

Stratford, Stratford High Street, Stratford International DLR, West Ham, Canning Town, Star Lane and Abbey Road will be joining zone 2 in time for Round 3 of the R15 Championship, maybe we should start from one of them?

On R3 I suggest not Stratford as this was used as a start before when the Olympics were being held...

Stick in the DLR and do one of these:
- Have an on-train start at Stratford International
- Start at Abbey Road and have a fixed finish at St John's Wood

Since the stations are different every time, I don't believe the Random 15 record ever resets.

Re: Random 15 Championship 2015/16, new season.
I was thinking just a couple of days ago about the twist for round 3. I had an idea about adding the DLR as a twist for round 3, as the DLR hasn't featured in a Random 15 in a while. With the impending rezoning of the Stratford Intl. branch stations, this seems like an excellent idea.
The Random 15 record does not reset, due to the nature of each individual round where there is not a fixed set of stations each time.
