I notice that we have "stickies" for Top Times Zone 1, All Lines and The "infamous" Bottle....

However several people have completed the whole network so surely there should be a Top Times "sticky" for this, being the "Holy Grail" of Tube Challenging

Also while I think of it a sticky for a Top Times Alphabet Challenge might be an idea too, as several people will have times for this......

Both have problems- the ASC as there are too many variables as to stations travelled (several different records) & the Alphabet as it is rather unpopular and there have been only about 5 attempts of it.

Yeah, why not. If people are that bothered about which configuration was attempted, there can be a note alongside their time.

Incidentally, 20.02.39

point not valid in my eyes. theres 275 stations and thats the way its been since the JLE. Geoff and Neil's record still (officially) stands and everyone has been pursuing that record in recent times. obviously over the years there have been different configurations, so lets just have the times since JLE. attempts before then are documented on the other challengers page. i think the only thing to discuss is whether ALL attempts are put up or just personal bests.

alphabet... well if theres only been 5 attempts then write 5 attempts on there. doesnt take much to work that one out.

As Peter said, I think only successful 275 attempts should be recorded, as all other attempts are not a completed ASC!

18 Hours, 35 Minutes, 38 Seconds by the way

Correction: 274...Shoreditch is closed permanently. Though I think we're still awaiting confirmation from GWR on that, given that the replacement bus is shown on the current tube map.

Might be interesting to log all attempts. I'd be curious to know what percentage of serious challenge attempts actually get completed.

see the other topics in this forum barry. GWR have confirmed its still 275. so, CORRECTION INVALID.

Oh crap, that means my time isn't valid, as I didn't visit it, having heard nothing from Guinness.

I presume that this means that the likelihood of anyone beating Geoff and Neil’s record is impossible to beat if you have to use the bus for both HT4 and Shoreditch.

Errrm, Geoff and Neils record? I don't think it will be for much longer....

Quiet Cawley. Be patient.

I'm considerably irritated by this whole confusion over Shoreditch - it makes no sense whatsoever to even contemplate requiring people to visit a station which doesn't exist!

Will some please explain to me what the hell you're thinking?!?

"Will some please explain to me what the hell you're thinking?!?"

I think you will find that it's not people wanting to go to Shoreditch, it's people being made to go to Shoreditch by the useless buffoons at GWR!

Seconded Sam, come on Doc how many Shoreditch topics do we need on this forum

No more, that's how many ...
