Excellent point! In fact if you have Paddington (the unified) as start station of a Z1C, I think it'd reasonable to have a route that not visits the Bak/Cir/Dis part, but rather only the H&C part... (At least after Regent's park reopens).

I wasn't actually assuming anything but I have re-worded the title slightly anyway :wink:

Yes exactly I was going to say earlier the yes/no vote should be not JUST be against using the H & C but also the Bak/District/Circle... Yes of course you have to go to Paddington on a Z1 but to do you have to use BOTH the H & C and either Bak/Dist/Cir?

Topic title and wording changed to cover this, happy now :D

I would say we keep both Paddingtons in because to remove one would de-value any future record attempts. Keep Z1 as 64 stations as it's a nice even number.
One day I shall return!
