Re: Tube Olympics 2016 (Summer Games)
The previous organiser, Soup Dragon, has already done similar. We started a zone 1/2 Random 15 at Stratford back in the 2012 Tube Olympics (in those days Stratford was a pure zone 3 station).Tube Geek wrote: Or Stratford, and you have to make your way into Z1
Therefore a different "real" Olympic venue was chosen for this years Olympics, hence Hyde Park Corner.

When can we expect the DLR topic / starting times etc.....?
Was a 1830 - 1900 window from wherever you like in 2012 I seem to recall.....

Re: Tube Olympics 2016 (Summer Games)
On 6 January...
It seems that two of the three events so far have been badly effected by delays, so maybe I was right?!?michael_churchill wrote:Isn't it risky publishing these dates so far in advance?
It gives TfL time to organise engineering works or "unexpected delays" on the Hainault loop.

Re: Tube Olympics 2016 (Summer Games)
A big thank you to the Tangster for organising the 2016 Olympic Games. I know he put a lot of work into organising the events, which was much appreciated by me and I'm sure by everyone else who took part. Shame more people didn't turn up for some events (DLR, FNC) but they remained competitive. It was very hot, very tiring but very enjoyable. Now on to Rio or even Tokyo 2020.

Of course there will no offence to the tangster but it's about time somebody else stepped up and organised instead.
