Our final event of the year is a big one - we're planning to speedrun the entire Metro Trains network in one day! This will currently planned for the 20th of November, which is the last day of the exam period, so if you're free and just wanna hang out and ride some trains (even if only for a part of the day), please join us! For those who are interested, there will also be an optional planning session during SWOTVAC to determine the route. The exact date and time of this planning session are subject to people's availability (please fill out the form!!). 

Depending on attendees' preferences, if enough people want to do the full speedrun we will do that, otherwise different people can do different legs but collectively as a club we will have speedrun the whole network :) Hence, even if you don't feel like spending 20 hours riding trains you can still be an essential part of the event, so please fill out the form!!
