Re: Top Times - DLR Challenge
Thanks - that's a useful site.
Unfortunately the new times mean I didn't finish with a top ten spot under the old configuration... a considerable fall from grace for the one-time record-holder.

Completed this yesterday as a warm up to the Mouse, in a new record time of 2h00m40s, going from Beckton to Tower Gateway (and no, it wasn't just a very, very slow train!).
Held some Alternative Challenge records for a long time.
Doesn't any more.

Do I really need to update this? Matt (Scriv)'s site seems to be the best source for top times these days.

Re: Top Times - DLR Challenge
Did he benefit in any way from having the other three of you there?
(By the way, I'm not trying to belittle Iain's achievement - I'm just playing devil's advocate (again).

Given it's the school holidays and my wife is away, my 10 year old son said that he wanted to have a go at the DLR record. Well today was just a reconnaissance, the real attempt is either tomorrow or Wednesday, so watch this space!
