You've heard of that too??? I've been dying to go to that! It seems like loads of fun. Party on the tube. Best venue in London ;)

At least a circle line party would pass some time for those of us who plan a lazy boy route for a bottle or Z1!

Well it's a pity that the party only happens when the train's in a tunnel, because the Circle line seems to spend more time waiting at stations than actually moving anywhere.

I still like it though!

Sorry to all the 275 purists (actually though they might like this one :wink: )

Another Alternative challenge, the longest party on the Circle line challenge.... This could be done timewise or by counting the number of laps or both :D

Counting the laps? Hehe. This makes it sound like a racing circuit, which I'm sure you'll agree is the last thing that you'd think of when somebody mentions the Circle line.

Would the challenge be "Let's see how long we can keep this party away from the prying eyes of TfL officials who always want to spoil our fun"?

Exactly that thought did cross my mind as well, how long before we get "rumbled" :P

Each lap is about an hour. You wouldn't even make two I reckon.

Does using 'You've lost that loving feeling' on innocent commuters to try and encourage mashing donations count?!?

I’ve had a great idea what about a circle line Christmas party :D
We can all meet up around Christmas time and take over a carriage with some music and drinks and stuff like that and have a super time, also we could put up reserved signs in the window! :shock:

Yeah go on then. However whenever we come into a station, everything has to be packed away and we all have to look stony-faced. Then as we leave, the party re-starts. It'll add to the entertainment value!

My favourite busker moment was late afternoon, last summer when a busker was playing The Kinks 'Waterloo Sunsets' actually at waterloo station. He was also one of the best buskers I have ever heard!
