Re: Olympia Shuttle
I was agreeing that the 05:09 does get to Barons Court at 06:20 with enough time to get the Olympia train.
If you had said WHAT was wrong rather than just state "thats not true" then there would not be these issues. I agree that it is not the first train.

Not everything's a competition and the world doesn't revolve around you. Perhaps you could do with realising that at some point?

Re: Olympia Shuttle
Oh, sorry! Not the first train, but the earliest stopping at that particular station. I do apologise.
Just starting to plan a route- we'll see how this goes. I chose Baron's Court to run from as it seemed like the shortest run without making any changes.
You mentioned 16:04 or 16:34, I guess this leaves possibilities of 17:04 or 17:34, which i'd be happy with if I got to all 270. Just realised my route will need to incorporate Tottenham Court Road being closed for the northern line if I do it after my birthday (April 2, it closes on 3). Not that my birthday has any affect on when I do it.

I'm really showing my lack of tube experience here, aren't I? And my poor reading skills regarding dates.

Re: Olympia Shuttle
Andi - I never said that the 05:09 was the first train. I just agreed about the comment that the 05:09 reached Barons Court with enough time to get to Olympia which was the point of the post. Whether its the first or second train of the day was not in point. Please re-read the posts if you don't agree.palkanetoijala31 wrote:he asked the first train out of upminster ok he got his facts wrong so did yourself you thought u were right u were even wrong is it beyond yourself mr moderator to admit u made a mistake for once! and dont tell me off because i corrected it you can kiss my arse oh but sorry you do enough of that to another forum member!.moley wrote:And I've said this before - it is possible for you to post on this forum without being rude.

Whether people are Team Geoff or Team Andi or Team Someone else is kind of irrelevant. We all enjoy the different aspects of tube challenging and therefore should all be civil to each other. I am more than happy for your to correct people on this forum but please be constructive.
People complained that I locked topics and warned people too easilly on here so I've stopped doing that so much recently but I don't like seeing rude posts such as "wrong thats not true!" Say what is wrong/why its not true and everyone is happy.

Re: Olympia Shuttle
Go Team Andi.
In danger of being off topic I do wonder why the media never once asked Andi for an interview/advice regarding captain chaos. Instead they ask two former holders! If I was Andi I would be right royaly ******* pissed off! Though after 30 seconds of speaking to Andi you know he couldn't go 5 minutes without swearing of saying a number between 1-10 when any member of the female species walks past

Good!! I actually text Chris suggesting that it could be an idea. There is no need for this behaviour on the forum.tubeguru wrote:And fate has decreed that I've had enough of Andi's childish behaviour of late, and have banned him from the forum for two weeks.palkanetoijala31 wrote:Fate decreed that i be single fate decreed that everybody hates me
It is not our fault that Andi is single so I don't understand why we are having to put up with the s**t surprising it!
Well done Neil!
Oh and as for why they didn't contact Andi, all they had to do was read this forum to realise he wasn't worth contacting!
