We had a similar story - we looked like we'd get sub 17 too and stumbled upon what should have been a 1 min onto a Ken O train, but the District line really cost us dear then and on the next few changes. We ended up with 17:18:18, a new PB for Glen, Andrew and myself and gave Rhys his first completion

Top times on first page of this thread updated with results of the August Tube Race. As before, as these are they most recent, they are shown in bold.

I met someone on the RailUK challenge who apparently knows 'Trainboy98', so I asked him if he could find out anything about this mystery attempt.

Thanks for updating with yesterday's times.

The Ians have finished in 18:14 - no details of seconds yet

I need to get back out on the network before I get knocked out of the top 10!!!

List on first page updated for the two Ians. I will try to contact them to get more info and invite them to join the forum

Ah, their iPad which they were using to time it died so they don't know

I believe you actually have been knocked out of top ten to 11th place although i can neither confirm the date or time of this attempt took place and no its not a ******** 1 or 2 attempt.

Sam is in the top ten until someone publicly announces a faster time. I disagree with the concept of keeping times secret, and I hope that the attempt you mention is now revealed properly and fully.

Well until that so called attempt is confirmed then I am in the top 10.

Oh let me guess, it must be the elusive Adham Fisher. Well I'll take that with a pinch of salt

i can neither confirm or deny ur suspicion but in the same question do you regard Marc Gawley time as valid or as a pinch of salt?

Marc Gawleys time was posted and VERIFIED by Guinness so yes, I trust it is valid.

As no time nor person, although is no doubt Adham has been posted then yes I will take that with a pinch of salt

but you miss the point sam gawley and adham treated same no was gawley ever criticised for not posting his time no he wasnt and in fact a lot of secrecy in routes and planning and times all came from his successful attempt! did a lot of people ask for his route well yes they did did he have a right to be secretive yes he did.

if i ever did decide to go out and possibly break my time would i reveal to this forum the day after that i had broke hell no not until that certificate was in my hands hell last time i thought we broke by 15 mins not 43 secs.

How do I miss the point exactly? You're posting that a time has been completed, yet are not willing to post the time, so you're better off saying NOTHING in the first place then causing aggro.
