Would you want to contribute to the London Underground network?
I'm still confused on what this whole "train" business I keep seeing all over this website, I'd love to contribute but I have no idea how these things work.

A train is a couple of "invite only" giveaways that are linked, e.g. an abandoned station.

If anything you'd get more than that, and I'd be willing to as well. Big projects like this are always a good bit of fun ^.^

Interesting idea! I'll throw in some giveaways if I remember to.

God, I was so confused by a constant broadcasting of the Mind the gap message when in London. what does it even mean?! Is that some sort of advertising? Am I expected to do something?! And that was the exact moment I went nuts.
That's all I have to say on the topic, thanks for listening!

If you don't mind unexpensive stuff, I'm willing to join :)

Cool :) I'll start choosing which stations I want :P (I wanted King's Cross but you chose it ><). Of course I can also provide "logistic" help, if needed.

Yay! Being a greedy budgie, can I take the Victoria line? :P

Update: closed, as the sign-up thread is now live.
Apparently trains have become quite popular here since I created my first one 18 months ago... so let's take this train business up one level, shall we? Without further ado, let me present
Let's Train: London Underground "Mind the Gap" edition
Instead of a single train, let's create 11 trains, one for each line of the the London Underground, with a total of 355 giveaways! Yes indeed, London Underground is one of the world's biggest metro train systems :-)
Wait, what?
I would like to recreate the London Underground network of 11 lines and 270 stations as a community giveaway train network on Steamgifts. Every station (giveaway) is mapped to one of the lines, and links to the previous and next station, as well as to all other lines that stop in the same station (we will have multiple GAs for stations that share multiple lines). That way we end up with 355 GAs required for the complete London Underground network. Once we have the London Underground network setup I'll publish the Kings Cross St. Pancras station GA (6 lines going through here!) in the forum, and people can travel from there to all the underground stations...
Call for help
Unfortunately I can only make 100 GAs at a time, meaning I need help from you folks! We need 255 additional contributors who can take over 1 station each. Or fewer contributors, if some end up owning more than one station :-) However from these numbers alone it's clear I will also need help managing the event! This is why I'm looking for volunteers to help me with the logistics of the event. Volunteers will manage a train line, i.e. collect the required info from the contributors and tell them what information they have to add to their GAs. There will be a Steam group to coordinate this effort, and I'll make a few nice GAs for all volunteers and top contributors once the event is over. Let me know in the comments below if you'd like to help, or have any questions to ask first.
Timing
GA requirements
GA should all be made private, with no region restrictions, and end at the same day in October (to be announced, do not create any GAs just yet!). Other than that I don't think we should have any rules concerning GAs. Contributors can choose what game to give away, what level to require, who to blacklist, etc. Oh, and here's a Mini Metro to get you started!
FAQ
Q: Are cheap games / bundles OK? A: Of course, all games are welcome!
Q: Can I choose my stations?" A: Yes, I'll have sign-up forms ready for the 2nd step. If somebody wanted to own an entire line that should also be possible (let me know before the 2nd week)
Q: How to get in touch with you? A: in Let's Train group chat steam://friends/joinchat/103582791439692202
TL;DR
I'm looking for volunteers to help me run this event. Read the sections above if you're interested.
