Everyone knows that the Easyjet flight from Amsterdam to Luton stops in Regents Park.

I don't think anything in the GWR rules prevents you from parachuting out at an appropriate point.

Technically it would be private transport. Now if it was an Easyjet run parachute for two, perhaps.

Yes, the parachute would be considered an aid alongside rollerskates etc... without a parachute would be fine though.

Is this the old line here?

I find it interesting that the line was unofficially closed in 1996 and yet remained formally open until 2002 - you had to order a rail replacement cab to get there!

Hmmm I wonder what tube challengers had to do for that period?

There's a campaign for a Watford Met shuttle service

Adham is apparently in Watford to speak about it

The old Croxley Green branch was always run by British Rail, so was never part of the Tube Challenge.

It wasn't part of the Underground then, it was National Rail (or whatever they called the equivalent incarnation at the time).
