Doesn't sound too much to get worried about.......
100's of drivers are parking up on the westway (A40) between White City & Marylebone flyover between 10am - 4pm today.. Hardly a blockade of London..........

No, but it's annoying for FGW drivers who need to get taxis to and from Old Oak Common. It's taking ten to fifteen minutes longer at the moment because the taxis have to go a round about way to get there.

Just spoke to Going Underground, the challenge is underway and the team have made the dreaded Moor Park connection with about 30 seconds to spare.
LIVE UPDATE 07:55
Just got an update from Kevin, he confirmed that Steven, Matt & Andi are still on schedule at the moment. Kevin is already complaining that the support job today is "Bloody hard work".
LIVE UPDATE 11:20
The lads are currently in Essex, 20 minutes down on their schedule.
According to Kevin it's raining, very grey and cold.
Hopefully the weather will be nicer on Friday.

Possibly a new GWR.... the team have clawed back some time. I last spoke to Andi at 18:00 he was just about to go underground but had time to tell me that they are just 5 minutes down on schedule.
LIVE UPDATE 20:05
Just spoke to Andi & Steven, they are on the 384 bus to fostering of the cock.
It now appears that they are inside their scheduled time, so a GWR is looking very possible.
LIVE UPDATE 22:25
The fickle finger of fate has struck, the team are currently stuck at Turnham Green trying to get to Chiswick Park. They have been there around 15 minutes due to the District line being suspended due to a tresspasser on the track at Embankment! I hope it's not one of our lot researching tomorrow's R15 challenge.
LIVE UPDATE 23:00
They are in the final furlong, spoke to Steven at South Ealing a few minutes ago and they should be at Osterley around now, they are 6 minutes behind our provisional GWR time but we had an 8 minute wait at Hatton X.... therefore it could come down to the same train.
Do you know EXACTLY when they left Amersham this morning - could be down to seconds now... (Though it sounds they will be one train later since your T4 train had a very short stop at T4, right?)
