16.54 Update
Another update from GU just left fenchurch street and have lost another 15mins heading for Upminster on C2C "Its now going to be tight for the record" was the quote from Kev

I've just got back. Everything seemed to be going fairly well - not on schedule but still inside the record, with good service and high spirits.

Having worked out their route from where they've been so far, I'm really puzzled about how they're going to finish it, which is probably a good thing, but very frustrating!

They all seemed very happy when I left them, as the photo suggests:

Update 17.53
Coming Down the District Line Between Upney & Barking 50 mins behind scedule but still 19 mins inside the 18h 15 min

Hi Nozza im back if u wish me to take over yes as confirmed Magnifcient 7 were 50 mins down have 10 mins to play with for Gwr unless the connection at the end is early by 1min if finishing at heathrow t5.

Yes Jbom their scheduled arrival was 22.34 17h 06m although by doing this i presume that their chances of catching up time are minimal as the connections would be water tight so 50 mins down would put their arrival at 23.24 there is only one other arrival at Heathrow t5 after that and its 23.34 they need to break 23.43.16 to break the record its going to be a tense finish to this epic battle between man,Woman and London Underground.

no word from the team recently must be underground in the bottle somewhere have a few lines still to do and the dreaded Mill Hill East still to come!!

Starkey looks a bit chuffed to be sat next to Rachel

Is this attempt going down the pan?

it seems that the record is going to be tight have had no updates for a while presume underground will let u know when i have some at least the network has cleared up for them.

LATEST UPDATE 20.24PM

On bus 384 going to Cockfosters team is approximately 59 mins behind so their window is tight for the record a horrible 7-8 min wait at Finchley central for the Mill Hill East train Tangy is now helping the Magnifcient 7 let the super powers come out now so they can make it approx 224 stations done.

Soup Dragon says it looks likely that they might be on the same train as Steven which means not a Gwr today unless it runs a min earlier than scheduled.

LATEST UPDATE 21.58PM

havent heard anything from the team for a while do know that they wanted silence to concentrate on beating the record it could all come down to a missed connection or a run being made in time

LATEST UPDATE 10.12 PM

Have just spoken to Soup dragon kevin battery gone Magnificient 7 at High Street Ken with Edgware Road down to Hammersmith and finish to go its going to be oh so close for the connection at hammersmith so tight i cant believe it.God i hope they do it otherwise they end up on the same train as steven with a few mins out bummer.

Don't give yourself a heart attack...

I also just spoke to Anthony, just departing Edgware Road. He says he thinks they "might just make it".
