School term ends 19th of July, although I may or may not be in school at that point, my plans are very unclear. When I am free, something to think about, depends on if/how any eastertime tube plans might go. So, consider this post like this: i've noticed the dates. :)

Just some advance warrning that the date of the Z1 scheduled for Thursday 19th July will be amended. The TOSA will post further details in due course.....

Hopefully some time next week I will have a better idea of any schedule changes to the Tube Olympics. Things are a bit un-settled at the moment as my office is in the process of moving from Hatton Cross to Hammersmith.

Just five weeks to go until the start of Tube Olympics III.
There still might be some changes to the event schedule which I will try and confirm ASAP.
Watch this space for any updates.

The event to be moved is the Z1 challenge, which now takes place on Wednesday 18th July.
As per an earlier post you made Matt I have decided to include the DLR Challenge, which will be on Monday 23rd July.
I will try my best to attend all events but if work commitments dictate otherwise then I will seek a substitute TOSA.

In 4 years mobile phone video technology has come a long way, http://www.youtube.com/tubeolympics should be bursting at the seams this year :)
Yes indeed, I had forgotten all about that superb channel. With some clever tagging of videos on this channel we should be able to get many viewers. I cant believe this masterpiece http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3DoapkR ... ico1ivlDvQ has only had 301 views.

If I can find the time :-)
You'll need to remind me of the password for the channel in case I do decide to upload some random nonsense.

Booked the 26th July off, so I can take part in the main event! I'm guessing that's not an exbo day though...

Massively tempted by the 270. Anyone fancy teaming up with me? Also, what's the skinny on t-shirts?

I have a cracker of a 270, 18 hours possible 17 1/2 if all goes well how exiting is that for a dual former GWR holder :lol:

I'm massively tempted as well! If I can persuade my parents more successfully than Sky Sports, then you never know!

I'm just wondering; are the any timetable changes between now and then that anyone knows of? Also, I wonder if we'll/you'll be on one of the last ever A60/A62 stocks, the first train I rode on!

I have a 17:49 on paper, it's just that I've given myself generous run times, but a tight Olympia. It doesn't rely on an exhibition service.

Oh, are you departing the tube challenging world? That's a real shame. This will be your swansong, not a terrible non-completion! :lol:
