All Stations Attempt (Going Off Topic ...)

Some of you may or may not be aware that Steve Wilson and I (Chris Searle) made an all 275 attempt in September, with a time of 19 hours, 17 minutes and 42 seconds. Considering the outrageous delay at Richmond we suffered and the fact that we also managed Terminal 4, I think we did rather well.
Possible future attempts include a couple of All 275's in 2006, entry for 2006 Zone 1 Challenge and any 275 event that takes place, plus there may be a chance of my uni buddies joining me for something tube-related, not sure what yet...

I love the nonchalant way you throw in "a couple of 275's in 2006".

Hmm... I've just realised i've made a terrible factual error!
Considering system changes, I should have quoted my plans for a couple of 'All Stations' attempts...
Nonchalant? Cheek...

Don't mind Neil.
He's just worried at the potential threat you pose.

You're terrified that i've got a better route than you guys, and the only thing that stopped me is delays... I know!

Now is this YOUR route or Steves route which you now claim to be your own????

OOoooooooooooooh! The atmosphere in here is so tense that you could cut it with a cricket stump!

Sorry I didn't mean it to sound like that! I'm tired, flat mates managed to piss me off and I don't approve of other people claiming stuff that isn't theirs to be their own

Sue the bugger!
Claims Direct might know a lawyer.

I have a rather splendid new route too, which has also been beset with delays.
I reckon we can get it down to close to 18 hours with this one.

Just wait and see the little gem i'm pulling out of the bag - it's gonna be a good'un...
This is the by-product of numerous boring lectures and months of hard work, and providing we don't have TOO many delays... watch out!

"My route's amazing as long as we don't have too many delays"
funny how often people say that on here I think. Can you find a way to minimise your delays?

Yes I can!
Optimum challenge date selection planning, taking into account engineering works, potential major events, the weather and other such factors...
Throw in a little differential calculus and you're home and dry!

Chris...
Are you attempting this on your own, or are your team mates still involved???
