Tube Olympics 2024: Event 3- Zone 1 Challenge

[tangy]

The third event in the 2024 Tube Olympics will be a Zone 1 Challenge held on Wednesday 17th July. This is pretty self explanatory... visit all 67 London Underground stations within zone 1 on the Tube Map in the fastest time.

The challenge will commence at 18:30 from Piccadilly Circus. Please gather beforehand by the "world clock" map on the concourse by 18:25. Your stopwatch can be started when the doors on the first train in your chosen direction are locked closed AFTER 18:30:00. You will have one attempt.

Usual Zone 1 Challenge rules will apply- for those who need a refresh, you can view them here: http://www.explorerticket.co.uk/tubecha ... 1rules.htm

Since the last Olympics, there has been three new stations added to Zone 1. These being Kennington, Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station. Please ensure your route includes these new additions.

Post challenge meet up will be our usual pub, the Blue Posts, Newman Street, Marylebone (in between OXC and TCR).

Competitors please make yourselves known.

Tangy.

I am clearly missing something here with these BPS finishes as I only had a couple of longish delays yet I can't seem to get anywhere near the times of other BPS finishers.
