This is where lack of actual knowledge definitely works against oneself!

Sounds like another pointless change, just for the sake of it being another pointless change. There are only a few outside of fare control changes that work on Z1 challenges if you want a good time.

Indeed. An overground change has to be faster than staying underground for it to be really worthwhile.

Not that I'm biased or anything, but can someone post what the team names and finishing times were, in case it takes a long time for a web write-up to appear? I'd hate the details to be lost to obscurity....thanks

If anybody wants to do an 'official' write-up, be my guest.
I've got the timesheet over there.
*points*
I'll go and get it in a second...

Hi Geoff,
Just one small correction, the time for Starkey was amended to 3:18.44 which put him in 6th Place, however, he arrived on the same train as our team (TNT) at Vauxhall, albeit in a different carriage, so really the teams must have tied in joint 5th.

Thanks Geoff. Don't have any photos sadly, but I saw a lot of cameras on the day so I'm sure pictures will be out there. Still gazing at that nice trophy......
