The previous organiser, Soup Dragon, has already done similar. We started a zone 1/2 Random 15 at Stratford back in the 2012 Tube Olympics (in those days Stratford was a pure zone 3 station).

Therefore a different "real" Olympic venue was chosen for this years Olympics, hence Hyde Park Corner.

Fair enough, if it's already been used/done

We've also already started one R15 this year at Stratford Intl DLR, which required everyone to pass through Stratford.

As only 5 days away...

When can we expect the DLR topic / starting times etc.....?

Was a 1830 - 1900 window from wherever you like in 2012 I seem to recall.....

On 6 January...

It gives TfL time to organise engineering works or "unexpected delays" on the Hainault loop.

It seems that two of the three events so far have been badly effected by delays, so maybe I was right?!?

A big thank you to the Tangster for organising the 2016 Olympic Games. I know he put a lot of work into organising the events, which was much appreciated by me and I'm sure by everyone else who took part. Shame more people didn't turn up for some events (DLR, FNC) but they remained competitive. It was very hot, very tiring but very enjoyable. Now on to Rio or even Tokyo 2020.

Will there be a Winter Games in 2018?

Of course there will no offence to the tangster but it's about time somebody else stepped up and organised instead.

Hear, hear Clive, don't forget the 2018 Winter games first

Definitely not - from what i heard, he is a very good organizer, who should be running it for years to come!

I will offer but for once other people should say I do it to give him a rest.
