Random 15 Championship 2018/19: Round 3
Posted: 28 Dec 2018, 21:18
Welcome to the 2018/19 Random 15 Championship. I am your host (commonly known to regulars as the BERC when I am hosting Random 15 challenges). The Random 15 challenge is just that, visit 15 randomly selected stations that feature on the Tube Map (usually within zones 1-2 and using the Underground network only). There will be certain rounds within the championship that are a variation of this such as adding an extra zone or network e.g. DLR onto the challenge. So are you ready to take on the Random 15 championship?
If anyone is not familiar with the standard rules (or scoring) for Random 15 challenges, they can be read here: http://www.explorerticket.co.uk/tubecha ... 5rules.htm (for regulars this is the same rules you are already well versed with).
Round 3 is nearly upon us, so here is what you need to know.
When: Saturday 12th January 2019, 12:30 GMT start.
Pre challenge meet up: Baker Street (meet in the Met ticket hall, public side of ticket barriers)
Post challenge meet up: The Bricklayers Arms, 31 Gresse Street W1T 1QS (off TCR, the road)
Variant: Has as become traditional for round 3, it's the National Rail round. So LU and NR stations in Zones 1 and 2 only. Yes, more National Rail but all 15 stations will be together be in one envelope this time!
Time limit: Twist round so 6 hours.
Engineering works:
--There is currently NO advertised engineering works affecting the TfL rail network.
--West Anglia: No trains between Hackney Downs/ Stratford- Bishop's Stortford via Tottenham Hale.
As this round contains National Rail stations, a standard Tube Map will not be sufficient for you to plan your challenge. You are advised to bring a copy of the London Connections map with you as this shows all rail services in Greater London. You can usually get copies at most National rail stations (may need to ask the ticket clerk if they are not on display).
Please can everyone who is coming notify me of your attendance as too many "turn up on the day" challengers can cause problems with lack of envelopes. Thanks.
Tangy.
the BERC.
