I defy anyone to be behind schedule at Chalfont and Latimer.

good luck to the team anyway! I see a few minor delays but hopefully they're not having too much of an impact at this stage.

I think we have to acknowledge the fact that Ping Pon is just acting as an overenthusiatic journalist today...

I think that with such sensationalist writing, a career in one of the tabloids awaits him

Sitting in an IT training suite in Norwich right now, but looking forward to catching up with the team later on this evening. Does anyone know if there have been network delays on the tube today?

the team are now heaing to Edgware and they are 40 mins behind schedule but because they made some minor delays. They did make the harrow run but there was no train and they had to wait there for ten mins

Good luck team

How can they have made the Harrow run but no train was there, surely that means they missed it....

The team are at wembly park heading for backer street and now a shocking 45 mins behind schdule and they made the run but the train was cancaled

Do you know if they've done Brixton?

Also, they may be a shocking 45 minutes behind schedule, but how much leeway does their schedule have? If their schedule broke the record by 30 minutes, then all is not that bad, a more accurate indication would be how far behind record breaking time they are.

Checked our records - we had station 200 after 12h45m on our record run and after 12h35m on our March attempt (different routes). Seems like an uphill battle from now on...

Last train through HT4 is at 00:06 - will they make all 275?

Really looks bad out there right now - http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/im/RD-T.html - hope they'll be able to finish!
