I am also available for support but only at sensible hours - no earlier than 8am/9am and no later than 7pm/8pm!

If no one wants me then I'll make further discussions with the TOSA in order to be a roving reporter etc.

yes i kno for example say ok myself or tangster accept ur services we be going a few hours before u be able to support i have no idea of exactly where i be in the network possibly underground so you would have to guess where i was and i would have to guess where u were.?

even above ground u would have to pick the best spots to meet up say a finchley central for example Robosparkle aka ian green our support person on 2 of our records we tried to get him ahead of us all the time we were so fast this just didnt happen a lot of times lol.

If you read the previous post, Kevin, then, following extensive discussions with Mr A. Brown, I can confirm that I will be there as a roving reporter. Looking forward to it. :)

Just wondering how this is going to work with regards to placings if nobody manages to complete (as could realistically happen!)...

Let's say Team A complete 200 stations in 13:00:00, whilst Team B complete 199 stations in 12:00:00. Would Team A win seeing as they had visited more stations, or would Team B win given that they have a better 'time per station'?

team a would win more stations covered its team b fault that they for perhaps a more better start gambled on less time to complete?

It should be number of stations completed & if you have teams tied on the same number of stations completed then time taken would decide the finishing order. .

If it was done on time per station, then I am going to travel from Leicester Square to Covent Garden and then abandon. 2 stations in 1 minute sounds good to me.

The TOSA can confirm 100% that it would be based on number of stations visited for teams who do not manage to visit all stations.
One day I shall return!
