If Ickenham is the obvious finish (which it probably is) then it lends itself to the Coach and Horses being the meeting point at the end. Sorry Kev, no McDonalds for this one! :wink:

Having just quickly worked out a route, I am inclined to agree that the challenge may be a bit easy. By my reckoning it can be done in just 6 trains.

That's the exact number of train me and tractakid worked out

In fact it can be done in 5 trains, although I think that route would actually take a bit longer than the 6 train one.

All lines/AtoZ combo?

We don't want something too contrived, if something needs too many rules to make it work perhaps we should think of something else?

I'm very aware this event is GUs creation and I don't want to undermine him, I'm just saying that I'm not sure I'd attend with the proposed challenge.

Actually I think it was Soup Dragons but I kind of took the reigns up a little while ago....

Anyway what is the earliest start time people make? I am happy to do the alphabet C through to B and can make Cannon Street for a 5.30 pm start... Possibly earlier if I book 1/2 day off work....
Appreciate your thoughts.....

I'm still not a fan of the c-b idea, so I will probably give this one a miss :(

How about some kind or R15 twist then?

Technically we havn't done a R15 with twist yet!

We could do a zone-1 only R15?

R20 might work better with Z1 only, this would be an acceptable challenge I think as I am sure we did an R20 a couple of years back??

I'm happy with an R15 variant.

R20 Zone One only.

I'm happy with that.
