Re: I wanna do a full network
Believe it when I see it. It's one thing planning routes on a spreadsheet and another thing getting out there and doing everything as planned. Correct carriage positions, which corridors/escalators to head down (or up), rush hour, bus stops, the roads to run down etc. Also it will be warm for the runs and Bakerloo Line in the summer.FelixJ20000 wrote:Got down to 15:28....

I've done a few FNCs and every time some things have gone wrong costing 20-45 mins time. Good planning builds in some slack and alternatives. My advice is not to publicise a theoretical time but let us know how it actually goes on the day. Good luck.

Re: I wanna do a full network
Now that's an idea. Just got my theoretical time down to 14:12 by linking all the stations by car instead of running/buses. Result. I'll try it tomorrow.Steeevooo wrote:Or if they have a motorbike/scooter/taxi/uber/car waiting for them

Have you built in enough slack to compensate for emergency Thames Water mains repair works though?tufnellpark wrote:Now that's an idea.

Re: I'm gonna do a full network
I reckon the Tomorrow People should have had a go at the record. They were based in a disused tube station iirc

They've changed the rules yet again - you just have to see the station

Whatever you like - although if it's anything heavy I'd try to schedule it away from a run.
Drink is also important

Re: I'm gonna do a full network
I guess it depends what you like - although if you want anything non-fast food you may find it harder to obtain.
On unsupported runs I've taken stuff that is fairly harder to destroy by having it bouncing around on a run - so flapjack, Scotch eggs etc
