Does that technically mean South of the thames challenge record would have to be reset?

Good question, I guess that on the tube map it will still show as being North of the Thames. Are there 2 x entrances to Blackfriars now then?
Also has the South of the Thames been done/reset since the ELL became part of The Overground?

Blackfriars tube station is still North of the river. Blackfriars NR station crosses the river with entrances on either side. I am not sure if there is now a direct interchange between the LU and NR stations, or if you have go outside the gateline and back in to the other station?

More TfL spin - exec on telly was crowing (unfortunate pun) about how they'd re-opened Blackfriars a week early - didn't the maps say it would re-open late 2011 at one point?
