I am seriously considering this, and you are duty-bound to consider me as your first choice

Don't use the unofficial ones that w******m talked about. What's the current record to beat?

Why October?

I know it gets cold - I was there playing on the Subway last December and January.

So if there is no current record, what makes you think Guinness recognise it? It would be rather odd for them to have a record category that nobody has ever attempted.

I agree. As a foreigner it's always been quite obvious that the London Underground is THE UNDERGROUND system of the world, regardless of number of stations etc. I'd certainly be somewhat surprised if GWR were interested.

Out of interest - how do you intend to collect individual witness statements every hour? At gunpoint?

Guinness don't actually have to recognise a specific record before it's done for the first time. People are encouraged to send in anything they think might be considered a record in the future. They already recognise the London record. If the New York one is done in a similar way and then submitted, I see no reason why they should not consider it.

Do we (you?) have a list of the official 468 stations? I couldn't seem to find a definitive list, and Wikipedia has 473 listed.

Is it the same basic rules as the LU record: must keep a record book, must travel to every station, must give evidence you where there, etc

The system map for the NYC Subway can be found here.

HTH,

Are there any Beck-Style maps of NYC out there, or do they all come in a 'geographical' style?

regoarrarr · Post by **regoarrarr** » 05 Jul 2006, 14:42

Sure - there's another map in the first page. I was just wondering if someone somewhere had a semi-official list of all the stations.

I don't have a problem trying to write them all down off of a map, but didn't want to do that if someone else had already done it
