Many thanks for the link in answer to my question on the origins of Random 15. I had searched the archive to no avail. Little did I know it was headed "Tubefest 07 Thursday night challenge." No wonder I couldn't find it!

I was only aware of one ticket hall at Farringdon - is it the one at the east end, above the platforms?

There is an entrance in Turnmill Street as well, although I think that is only open in the peaks.
