Should future R15's have a 4 hour time limit?

We could always use last years twist with 20 stations on the list and you choose the 15 you visit.

That's very true. You can always use the same twists and your never going to get the same. Mind you, you can always add two twists together. Like the inclusion of DLR and Overground with 20 stations.

I quite like the HOTH start idea. Would give you about 14mins of thinking time. I'm sure hopeful traveller and Myles would enjoy the short commute.

Perhaps maybe a start in Zone 5/6 and all stations in Zone 1/2? Liking HOTH idea but if Great Portland Street or Euston Square come out, for example, that will rule out a Chiltern from Platform 2.

That could be the twist.
For example, everyone has to get the 12:49 out of HOTH. You can open the envelope when to doors close on the Chilton but the clock doesn't start until the doors open at Marylebone.

By the 12:49 do you mean the 12:49 to Aldgate or the 12:49 to Marylebone? Like I said, I'm not a huge fan of Chiltern Railways and haven't travelled on one for years! I do want a bit of variety in the start of that, so, like I said, an outer London start will just be adequate and One is still sceptical about all the CR starting stuff.

Personally I think that you should start on the 19:10 from New York.

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

Personally I would say that the fail was more on the side of the people that appear to be taking all the ideas seriously!!
