    In order to keep the challenge series interesting today's challenge is double the length!

    Four teams of 2 will take on services running into and out of Dresden in the morning rush hour.

    Stage 1 - The Professionals
    Nahverkehr Dresden (Meißen branch)
    06:34 S1 service from Meißen to Dresden
    DB BR 143
    PZB and sifa enabled

    Stage 2 - The Rookies
    Tharandter Rampe
    07:35 S3 Dresden - Frieberg
    DB BR 442
    Drivers must use wipers

    The Teams
    James + Cat
    Sam + JD
    Matt + Alex
    Adam + Jamie

    If you're not already confused, you soon will be. Neither Matt nor Alex were able to attend the "reaction" recordings so on Stage 1, Nat has stepped in to play the part of the Professor. On Stage 2, I'll be representing Alex since I'm literally double his age.

    In a further wrinkle to things, Jamie joined last minute as a "Rookie" as the original competitor was unavailable. In order to balance things out Jamie will also be using safety systems.

    Many thanks to all the competitors, but suffice to say I won't be hosting another 8UP. 4 players was plenty.

    Just like to say I really enjoyed the stream tonight. It shows that it must of been hard work to put it together but it really pays off. We'll do e to you and the others.

    Very good stream, lots of good banter and fun with safety systems. Best to keep JD off MS Teams when driving :)

    The stream was great to watch nice to see Sam back in his usual fine form, also genuinely nice to see Nat pop in for a stream.
