Its time to reveal the official Z1 2010 logo (after much thinking and playing on words), thus its time to take it off the drawing board...

You missed out Westminster (was used in 2007) from the list of excluded starting stations. (Geofftech had it in his list).tangy wrote: 6. All challengers are requested to be at the specified meeting point by 1200 on the day of the challenge. A starting station will then be drawn at random (from all 64 Z1 stations) excluding those stations that have been start stations in previous years, these being Vauxhall, St. James’s Park, Sloane Square, Kings Cross and Angel. In addition since Blackfriars is closed for rebuilding this will be excluded from the draw.
Geoff shouldn't have had it in his list as it is a previous starting station.JoeGJ1984 wrote:You missed out Westminster (was used in 2007) from the list of excluded starting stations.

I meant Geoff had it in his list to be excluded (which is correct), but Tangy has missed it off his list of stations to be excluded.tubeguru wrote:Geoff shouldn't have had it in his list as it is a previous starting station.JoeGJ1984 wrote:You missed out Westminster (was used in 2007) from the list of excluded starting stations.

Do you use a railcard? If so, could you not make use of the Virgin Trains peak easements for railcard holders? Or would that not work?JoeGJ1984 wrote:Do people think that I would be able to stay for the results announcement and make a train away at 18:30 from Marylebone? (I'm thinking of doing this - using Wrexham & Shropshire because it is the cheapest way - but the last train is at 18:30. I did consider Virgin trains to Euston but I would have to either get in at 11:34 (a bit tight for getting to the meeting place at the start) or else pay around £60 (because of peak fares).
Also, are the rules going to be the same as what Geofftech wrote up? I think tangy should edit the first post of this thread to include the rules, or at least link to Geofftech's rules if the same are being used. And are you going to include the rule where people stop after 4 hours if not completed and note the number of stations visited?
I don't have a railcard. I've already bought my tickets using Wrexham and Shropshire - I'll be getting the train back at 18.30 (I decided it was simplest and cheapest this way).jonny wrote:Do you use a railcard?
