Its good, looks like a set of train wheels to me :P

I was thinking (I am by no means telling you to change it of course), but what if you just had the red roundel (like the proper one) and have "Zone 1" in the red above the blue bar and "challenge" below it and "2011" in the blue bar itself?

Do you think I will be OK with an arrival into Euston at 1134? Do you have any idea of the times yet? (I mention 1134 because it looks perhaps a little tight, but I really want to get this one as I get cheaper off-peak fares but if I go any earlier, I will have to pay peak fares. And I haven't got the option of travelling with Wrexham and Shropshire any more as I have done before, because they've finished). I would prefer if it went back to Oxford Circus as that is more central than, say, Shoreditch HIgh Street which is rather out of the way (I didn't get there for the draw in time last year!).

I would like to know the meeting point and time as well as soon as known please as I have to advise a well known tube challenger of the details who has had problems logging onto the forum for some considerable time..... I will PM Tangy with his Expression of Interest
