Back in October, YRP L&SE hosted its first-ever 'Transport Challenge' which entailed a fun hunt across London’s transport network in a custom themed challenge. The theme of this challenge was Bingo, teams were tasked with visiting randomly selected stations and lines within the five hour time limit. 🚂 Congratulations to the winning team ‘This Team’s Name Is Delayed To Regulate Service Patterns’ who achieved the most lines on the Bingo card and earned an exclusive YRP winners pin badge! 🥳 A special mention also goes to the other teams for their impressive efforts: Falcon Warriors, The Overgrounders, Severe Delays, and AtkinsRailis. A special thank you to Ryan Hill for organising and delivering this fantastic event, and to the YRP volunteers who came along to support. We look forward to running it again next year! 🤩
