[palkanetoijala31]

Just out of curiosity seeing as u work for the BBC any possibility of a celebrity puller of the station name.?

Starkey - your Z1 record with Jamie was at the Tube Olympics Z1 in 2008.

Incidentally, further up Geoff states your old record was set on Z1 day when you went out and repeated your route again later the same day - as I remember, this was the year of the Westminster start and your route meant you repeated the first two stations - so for Z1 you submitted 2h47 but you claimed a record by retiming from Southwark.

Glad I've clouded that up

2) Visiting a station is defined as arriving at or departing from or passing through the station on a LU trainn. You are allowed to leave the Underground system and move between stations on foot or by bus.

I presume NR trains are also allowed to connect between LU stations too - not just bus or foot?

Why do teams need to be made in advance? Why can't we just make them up on the day, and have our team photos taken for Geofftech prior to the draw (or at the post competition meeting point) as has happened previously for the Zone 1 Challenge.

Well, I make that sweeping statement surmising from the old Geofftech which contained said photos.

Yes, it's particularly useful for a certain stretch between an NR terminus and an otherwise difficult station.

I bet that's the route I have in mind...

Hmm as far as i know geoff has already had that priveledge of pulling the name out of the hat apart from hakan 2009 and i believe jack welsby whom else has pulled the station name.?

Hang on stewards inquiry

I think it would be really funny if Oxford Circus came out. Don't know why, I guess the rush to get to the start and plan your route would become rather more laid back heehee

Presuming that certain meeting place traditions continue, of course...

[tubeguru]

As Geoff's de facto sidekick I reserve the right to contribute something to proceedings. I believe he suggested I do the name pulling in an email a while ago so he can't change his mind now.
