Paddington (H&C is not a bad place to start), it's certainly good for fast(ish) times as it removes the dreaded wait for a H&C from the equation!

As far as I know you have to either arrive or depart on a train at every station in Zone 1. Thus if you run from the start station, you would have to arrive or depart from it on a train later on in the challenge.

Of course, in the 275 station event one can start from any station one likes.

(I'm not, incidently, proposing to count the station I've run away from as having been done; as I would pass through it later)

Yeah, I guess it's going to be hard to say "I left at the same time that that train did" or similar.

Oh, well, plan B for Edgware Road then...

I know this is all a facade, Geoff. I KNOW you're not that disorganised. I know you have a route planned for every station, for every possible delayed-line combination and for each individual possible weather condition (including sun, rain, wind, rain and wind, snow, sleet, hail and fog).

Geoff does have a point though - think how long it took you all to work out each of your routes, and then think that you will have more time than that tomorrow on the way to the starting station to plan such a route anyway (and maybe even a team to help with it!).

But I admit it: I have been planning routes.

edit: By the way, my Cannon Street start, Bakerloo severe / Piccadilly minor delays, sun&fog route is a good fifteen minutes faster than yours, I can guarantee it!

If its raining the Wimbleware Line is sure to have delays!

Yes, because when it rains, the Thames floods at Putney Bridge.

Neil's total uselessness has rubbed off on you, Geoff.

You're GROWING UP.

Perhaps we're both acting our age ...

in fact the southfields signals have failed right now

i too am "winging it" today. partly out of cant-be-bothered-itis and partly out of wanting to do this for fun! oo the adrenaline! bring it!

I am going to CRUSH you ALL.

(well, I'll try... )
