Really!?

Well this challenge is more strategical more than anything else which plays into the hands of the real tube challenger (the one that spends months scheduling (e.g. Marc Gawley)) rather than the ones who don't schedule and find that they're at Upminster when T4 closes with a T5 finish.
Yes, really. Also, please explain why you believe that I, and everyone that agrees with me, have never put any effort into any scheduling etc? I suppose I came across my GWRs by chance? Also, how does this challenge require a huge amount of planning - you've given a prescribed route!! For me, the best strategic challenge is the R15, not a contrived challenge where you have to repeat yourself over and over again including many truly pointless nuances (doing a challenge in work shoes FFS?!).

Have to agree The R15 is a brilliant conception and requires very rapid thinking......
