Zone One 2013 - Starting Station Sweepstake!

Post by The Raven »

Any guesses on this years starting station?

For some strange reason think it might be MOORGATE for some reason.

Which ones are currently barred due to being chosen previously?

It would be nice if one of the Paddingtons (H&C or Circle) were chosen, as you'd have to come all the way back to finish at the other one.

That is more or less what happened last year when we started at Aldgate East and a lot of us ended up finishing at Aldgate.
Soon to be yet another forum train driver

To be fair, tubeguru makes the fewest appearances in London so should be prioritised. And coz I haven't had the joy of meeting him yet.

What are the Scrivin and Cawley diagrams like then?
