- The Mouse/Bottle looks like it would become the Seal (both routes between Glenfield and Town Hall plus all intermediate stations). Only one of these challenges ever happens in a Tube Olympics so you won't end up repeating it.
- Zone 1 will probably have a counterpart in Sydney soon.
- All Lines becomes the All Lines, obviously. I think I might actually prefer the Sydney version of the All Lines, ours is simultaneously frantic and boring.
- Random 15 becomes the Random 15, you have those now.
- DLR; you have a light rail line don't you?
I suppose it's like our TfL Rail challenge, you get on at one end, hope the train doesn't break down and get a mediocre time at the other.
- Full Network; you have one of these already.
- Tramlink; don't think you have trams. You could put together a Trainlink challenge I guess, but you'd have to stick restrictions on. I don't know about your version of the Travelcard, perhaps you could restrict it to the areas covered by this?
- Nordic Combined: This is a brilliant little challenge. First half involves getting to as many stations in 60 minutes as possible. Second half is a quiz. You should try to score well on both.
Conclusion: We could definitely run a joint championship.
Mouse/Bottle: It is possible
Zone 1: I am planning one, we would include our ticketing Zone 1 plus our light rail service to be within about 1 or 2 stations to the LU Zone 1 Challenge
All Line is possible
Random 15 we are doing, but our championship is done over a calender year; first one is early Jan 2016
DLR is our light rail, but we only have 1 line, but come 2019, we will have a new line and 19 more stations (this one will be interchangeable with our current line)... and then sometime after 2019/2020, we should have another two lines that would require a train journey to get to as it would be seperate to the other two.
Nordic Combined: possible.
We have always been looking for new challenges to do, the first was the R15... but now I'm going to look at bringing these in, and we can work together.
