And now for something slightly different

7th October

Akihabara JR
Tokyo JR (those bullet trains look amazing when passing)
Shinjuki JR
Yotsuya JR
Yoyogi JR
Shinjuki (Keio/Toei)
Ichigaya (Toei)
Ichigaya (Tokyo Subway)
Yotsuya (Tokyo Subway)
Akasaka-mitsuka (Tokyo Subway)

JR = east Japan railways, putting the Toei stations separate as you need a special "transfer" ticket as they have separate gatelines.

Slightly different indeed! I hope you're taking a good number of photos, I'd love to see what it all looks like over there.

I know it's taken me a while to do this post, and my update on Red Pen 2015 is still outstanding, but the latter is on the way this weekend! As for my shack scores update, here is the fairly lengthy list in alphabetical order and paragraphed for ease of reading:

18/10/2015

Acton Central (last LO shack to get!)
Boston Manor
Chiswick Park
Ealing Common
Goldhawk Road

Hatton Cross
Hounslow Central
