We have a total of 60 possible starting stations this year don't we?
St. James's Park, Sloane Square and Vauxhall are out because we've had them before, and Regents Park is closed.
I always wondered what would happen if the start station closed due to an emergency on our way there

Yes 60 stations, save the ones you mentioned......
I guess if we arrive and starting station is closed then we have to re-group and re-draw another...... So don't throw them away until we are sure

Three options as I see it (to be chosen from by the organisers, there and then):tubeguru wrote:I always wondered what would happen if the start station closed due to an emergency on our way there
* Wait for reopening.
* Redraw, and hope things will clear eventually.
* Go straight to the pub.
Let's hope we get an uninterrupted challenge this year though...

Few questions (apologies if they've been answered and I haven't looked hard enough)
1) Are Bank and Monument two stations or one?
2) Do we bring our own stopwatches?
3) Is there a time limit on Oyster cards (i.e. are you only allowed to be between ticket barriers for a set time)?
4) How many roads must a man walk down before he becomes a man?

1) Bank and Monument are two separate stations and both must be "visited"
2) Yes, it is advisable to bring a reliable stopwatch.....
3) There is a time limit on Oyster Cards, not sure exactly what this is but shouldn't come into play on a relativley short challenge such as a Z1...
4) About 25 I reckon.....

And for any novices who are not sure you also have to visit both Paddingtons (H&C line) + (Bakerloo, District, Circle).
and both Edgware Roads (Bakerloo) + (H&C, District, Circle)
One day I shall return!

2) Any digital watch that show seconds will do fine, since a time sheet (i.e. pad, pen and paper) is, if not required, good to have to "prove" your movements and to discuss around in the pub anyway...jamesthegill wrote:Few questions (apologies if they've been answered and I haven't looked hard enough)

3) In theory the 2h30m(?) timeout on the Oyster could be a limitation, but in reality it shouldn't be a problem...
