Re: Art on the Underground, Labyrinth route
Not that it explains the weird 270/270 on the Culture shows spreadsheet, but in the same cell as it says T4 it has 268 after it, which makes more sense

Re: Art on the Underground, Labyrinth route
Also I'm sure they would have ran from North Harrow to Rayners Lane rather than going via West Harrow (which they would have visited later anyway).
Soon to be yet another forum train driver

Re: Art on the Underground, Labyrinth route
Interesting, but clearly a bit of artistic licence in not showing clearly some of the obvious runs - it just looks prettier for the blob to go along tube lines.
I'm also disappointed that this route is now so easily available for those who don't want to do the hard work of researching and planning their own. I was surprised though that there was nothing new in potential options that I hadn't thought about. It also confirms that my basic route idea (the ordering of which is flexible dependent on what happens on the day) is more efficient than this route, if measured in terms of redundant passes through stations. That explains why my best time (16:43) beat it when there were fewer trains (being a Saturday) and at least three significant service failures causing me chunky delays. (Though I acknowledge that the record holders have said in the past that their record days were also not without some service problems.) It also explains why Andi and Steve appear to have been relaxed about releasing this route, but not their current record route.

Yes, doubling back all of Goodge, West Ken, White City, and East Acton surprised me.

Re: Art on the Underground, Labyrinth route
My recent routes have managed to get away with not doing it - it's not unavoidable
Interesting to see the East Acton double bacl and then White City double back, I'd not thought of that

Re: Art on the Underground, Labyrinth route
This was derived from Hakan's computer driven route. His routeing actually travelled from Ealing Broadway to White City to double back to West Ruislip.Iain wrote: Interesting to see the East Acton double bacl and then White City double back, I'd not thought of that
I tweaked this to the East Action double back on my record runs with Andy and Matt, which then formed the basis for the route you see above.

Re: Art on the Underground, Labyrinth route
My routes always do Hammersmith to Acton Town twice so I guess it avoids that at the expense of three stations worth of double back - interesting.
