Fair play for getting the official time and a nice time for the rest of us to break. It's not like the old 15:45 record where I think a combination of Mo Farah, Usain Bolt and Rain Man could hope to break

The article states that they started at Heathrow T5. Is this really the case or did they start at T4 and the reporter got a bit confused? (Maybe we'll never know!)
Well done to them all!

Our own Usain Bolt will be along shortly I'm sure, to furnish us with his wisdom ...

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.

Congratulations to “The Amersham Ambushers”, which presumably includes John Mawdsley?
I'm encouraged that I'm only 15m40s behind that, though I'd never be bothered to do the work necessary for GWR.

I'm only 22 minutes behind it, and my theory time was 17:53, so I could still beat it if my fitness improves and I don't make the mistakes I made last time!
I also have a 17:13 route I must try sometime... (it's actually the backup route to the 17:53, so I need to find a backup to the backup...)

Question (as I haven't been paying any attention):
How many people have set full network times for the new 272 configuration, and what are their times? A list would be ideal, thanks.
