[Going Underground]

For all of you coming on Friday to the tune of Ghostbustres.....

"When your pushed for time and running late, who you gonna call? 118!
When your in a jam and just can't wait, who you gonna call? 118!

I wish everyone tomorrow the best of luck! Both with completing the thing in a reasonable time, and actually putting up with those costumes for the entire day! Unfortunately the planets have conspired that I can't be in London at all tomorrow so I will not be able to witness the bizarre/hilarious sight that all of you running around the tubes will be, but I very much look forward to seeing the pictures/video.

Once again, good luck!

[Soup Dragon]

See you all in around 7 and a bit hours, this is going to be awesome!

[nozzacook]

Hi, just came to say goodluck, and that I might see you at some point.
I'll be in Camden for most of the afternoon/evening, any idea roughly what time you'll be around there?

(oh, and hi i'm new, my name's Hannah, nice to meet you all)

[Soup Dragon]

Hi Hannah, welcome to the forum....
We should pass through Camden town twice.... first time North Bound on Bank Branch to High Barnet at around 0900. and the second time souuthbound Edgware to Charing Cross branch at 2050. I'll PM you my mobile in case you want to try and call us.

Hopefully I'll be happily ensconsed away from all this chaos at Paddington today.

Just heard from Antony that they are currently still on schedule and heading back from Epping.

Well despite our team being whittled down to 10 superheros and 1 villian along the way we managed the fastest recorded time for the 270 in 17h 36m 57s and the first known

T4 start Chesham finish i do my own report later in the day but surfice to say it went really well for such a big group.

The team

Tangy = Bus driver Arriva uniform
Scrxisi = Bananaman 1
Going Underground = 118 118 (with a lovely black wig)
Soup Dragon = Batman
Joy 54 = Robin
Beer Baron = Wolverine
Nozzacook = Ironman
Sam = Supergirl
Ping Pon = Mr incredible
Jamesthegill = Green Lantern
Garion24wales = Superman
Keith = Bananaman 2
Palkanetoijala31 = mr x (the convict)

High Points throughout the day for me

Me cheating on the West ken run i was the only 1 whom took the bus and was well rested.

Beating the whole team whom didnt want to run from new barnet by 5 mins at Cockfosters.

Seeing my portion of the route exactly to every train near enough exactly got and on schedule Ken o,Mill Hill East and hainault loop perfect.

Good turnarounds at Richmond and Uxbridge

And not getting caught on any big or small runs while i was out in front .

Low points

Losing Supergirl and Bananaman 1 on 1 of the changes but we found out that they actually told us to go on but it was confusing for us when we didnt know the information at the time but both were suffering at the time..

We lost Robin as well to the Krappa virus.

relying on a crappy Metro service late at night.

Thanks for the welcome
Nope I didn't see any of you.
Although at the time Antony said you passed through Camden, the first time I was still at home in Sussex and the second time I was at a concert.
Did look out for you on my way between Victoria and Camden Town, both ways.
Sounds like you all had a great time. Maybe i'll have a go next time

[jamesthegill]

the second time I was at a concert.

Electric Ballroom, Underworld, Barfly or Dingwalls?
