Bottle challenge - 24th July 2006
Hopefully this will go without a hitch this time, unlike before ....
Right, good fun ... Z1 rules as always, a random station is picked, in zone 1 or parts of zone 2, I will post a definitive list of possible starting stations.
My attendance is guaranteed this time ... !
Basically, all lines in the shortest possible time, should prove interesting.
It is most likely that it is an 11.15am - 11.30am meet at Oxford Circus station, normal place. Start as near to 12.15pm (or earlier) as we can, hopefully a finish at 1.30pm or so should do well. I will need to dash off at around 2.15pm as I need to do some things in London that day.
Thoughts on it? Any rules that may need to be instigated?

I think you may end up taking a number of months to complete it. Can you guess why?

I haven't found a decent route for it with 12 stations & 11 lines yet. The W&C links the deep levels in the West with the sub-surfaces in the East. It really is essential for the challenge.
PLUS it isn't REALLY an all lines challenge.

Sorry, got it a bit mixed up... (The difference is the similarity!)BTW
Does anyone know the difference between a closed tube line and a bachelor?
The DIFFERENCE is: The closed line is WC but a bachelor is single you see!
