I have 3 new times from a Zone 1 Race I organised with my friends on Wednesday. We started at a station picked out of a hat (which was Bank) and set off after 15 minutes of planning time. Turns out my team won by quite a margin.
All done on 17/06/15:
03:12:53 Alex Kneller, Juan Luis Bradley & Ayodeji Akintunde
04:00:40 Rob Arrow, Jonathan Rawlinson & John Bate
04:13:20 Sam Ling, Megan Brown & Adem Bayraktar

Re: Top Times: Zone 1 Challenge
We have a new Zone 1 target to beat.
Well done to Clive Burgess (aka tufnellpark) who has completed the Zone 1 challenge in 02:36:30, thus becoming the new Zone 1 record holder.
Explorer Ticket will be updated accordingly.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Re: Top Times: Zone 1 Challenge
On Zone 1 day I was late and didn't get to the start station, but I did my own Zone 1 challenge.
Here's the time and route for inclusion in the Top Times list:
Time: 3h 05m 51s
Bond Street Queensway run to Bayswater Earl's Court Russell Square Holborn Bank Moorgate Euston Waterloo London Bridge Elephant & Castle Paddington (Bak) run to Paddington (H&C) Aldgate run to Aldgate East (in torrential rain) Sloane Square Victoria Vauxhall
This was on Friday 2 June 2017. I think the other Zone 1 Challenge 2017 times in the list have the wrong date against them.

Re: Top Times: Zone 1 Challenge
That's a very neat route!
Also helped by having the Queensway/Bayswater change at the beginning so you can time the first train to tie up nicely with the every 10 minute District Line service.

Re: Top Times: Zone 1 Challenge
Yes you could, although for this attempt I started on the first train after 1pm in line with the Z1 Challenge.

Re: Top Times: Zone 1 Challenge
How did that connection work out for you? If it was timed correctly, might there be a sub- 3 hour time on the cards?

Re: Top Times: Zone 1 Challenge
You could save maybe two or three minutes on the first connection. You could save a lot more by running.
The only proper running I did was between the Aldgates because of the rain.
