I'd say "K" because that's what the name on the map starts with.
One thing only do I know, and that is that I know nothing - Socrates.

On the index it occurs twice as 'Kensington (Olympia)' and 'Olympia'. Perhaps it could be used for both?

Yep I am well up for it. As a sugestion Why not start at Ickenham as everyone would have to go there at some point. Do the stations have to be done in Alphabet order or do you just have to visit a station that starts with each letter.

I think the start point of Ickenham has been looked at and dismissed for a couple of reasons, please see post dated 21st April by millwalldave. Even with half the teams doing I to H and the others going backwards; I to J(K) there would probably be fair amount of following each other around...
I think the drawing of different start letter for each team is preferable and would almost certainly ensure that alternative routes and times (that's the luck of the draw!) would ensue...
There does seem to be a fair bit of interest for this challenge, so maybe we can post a date and stipulate the rules on the main site at some stage in the future.....
