what olympia train?
hey, another question about a run on an fnc
which morning Olympia service are you more likely to catch if starting on 5:02 at t4 and running from hammersmth: 6:06 or 6:15?
also is it quicker to run from barons court baring in mind that a bus can only pick you up halfway?

Re: what olympia train?
Hi. I started my attempt in December at T4 and was able to change to the District at Hammersmith, run from West Kensington, and I caught the 615am from Olympia with 3-4 mins to spare.

from what u claimed that u could run pace 06:06:30 should be a doddle for you but half the time the district runs late it is quicker to run from barons ct just!

If the trains are running on time then the 06:15 should be easily acheivable.
On our last attempt having changed to district at Hammersmith as it was at platform we gained a bit of time, so then decided to really go for it on the run from W Ken, and we just got the 06:06 (about 20 seconds to spare).

I guess I was lucky the District was running ok for me that day!
I suppose you could get off the Piccadilly train at Barons Court, see if the District train is due, and if not then run from Barons Court.

Re: what olympia train?
06 is makeable without being super fast if you run from BC, W Ken if you're lucky and fast. If you can put together a good route off 06 and 15 then it's worth a gamble I'd have thought.
Or go for the one after (40 something now) and kill off something else?
The first train to T4 runs late quite often so you can miss the train down to T5 which will throw out your plans so that's worth having a back up for too

It's 80 m further to run fron Barons Court but you are off the train 2mins sooner. As a rule the 6:15 is comfortable.
26 miles 385yards in 4h 14m 40s.

Try Richmond Branch though I can't be sure if that would work.Iain wrote:Or go for the one after (40 something now) and kill off something else?
