Random 15 Championship 2019/20: Round 2
Posted: 03 Nov 2019, 21:11
Welcome to the 2019/20 Random 15 Championship. I am your host (commonly known to regulars as the BERC when I am hosting Random 15 challenges). The Random 15 challenge is just that, visit 15 randomly selected stations that feature on the Tube Map (usually within zones 1-2 and using the Underground network only). There will be certain rounds within the championship that are a variation of this such as adding an extra zone or network e.g. DLR onto the challenge. So are you ready to take on the Random 15 championship?
The rules and scoring are unchanged from previous seasons but if anyone is not familiar with them, or needs a refresh, they can be read here: http://www.explorerticket.co.uk/tubecha ... 5rules.htm
Round 2 is just under two weeks away, so here are the details:
When: Saturday 16th November 2019 12:30 UK local time.
Pre-challenge meet up point: Oval (ticket hall/street side of ticket barriers)
Post-challenge meet up point: Our regular haunt. The Bricklayers Arms, Gresses Street (off TCR). I have had no alternative venues suggested to me that would fit the bill.
Variant: Normal round. Only 15 LU stations within zones 1 and 2 only.
Time limit: 4 hours
Closures affecting the challenge:
Circle: Closed throughout.
District: No service South Kensington- East Ham.
DLR: No service Stratford International- Canning Town

Other closures to be aware of:
Whitechapel: Station closed. ELL trains non stopping.
There is no National Rail engineering work planned that will adversely affect the challenge but please check if travelling from further afield.
Everyone is welcome but please advise if you are attending.
Thanks
The BERC
