Not too sure about the Edmonton Green idea - I'd have thought most people would wind up changing at Seven Sisters and Green Park and heading as close to T5 as they can get - or possibly Seven Sisters, KXSP and as far up the Met as you can go in the time. Not a lot of alternative routes.

There's National Rail, of course.

That said, perhaps we should reduce it to "How far can you get in 60 minutes" because in 90 minutes you can get to most places.

Sounds fair. So is that what we'd be doing?

Think so. Some labyrinths are easier to snap than others- requires a bit of strategy.

Pymmes normally have around 30 runners so even an extra 6 would be noticeable, hence the comment :)
