This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Greatkingrat, any ideas for a first round twist?

04/09/14, edited with the new twist in mind.
Well you might like to bear in mind the track closures:
District: Barking to Upminster (irrelevant)
Jubilee: Willesden Green to Stanmore (irrelevant)
Metropolitan: Everything south of Northwood (irrelevant)
Overground: The East London Line in its entirety, though there ARE same rails trains
So no Z1-2 LU closed stations, unless something gets banned.

Any update on the twist Pete? Or shall I choose?

My choice is the banned stations twist proposed by The Orange One.
It will be a normal Zone 1+2 LU only round, but with 10 banned stations announced in advance. These 10 stations can not be visited by LU train at any point during the challenge.

Thanks Pete, I can now create a round 1 specific thread with the exact details regarding this challenge. A fixed start would be beneficial for this challenge.

Hoping for some evil stations (Manor House with a Finsbury Park ban comes to mind as particularly cruel).

Second round, Tangy? Can we have some details, because it's getting kind of close - 15th of November, we know, but the where would be handy. Also, do we have a generator yet?
