London's Transport Race - March 2023 - Expert
We turned the difficulty up to 100 for this special edition of London's Transport Race. Evolving our popular concept which sees teams head out across London to find six stations and a landmark, our second 'Expert Mode' Race took place on Saturday 25th March 2023.
