I didn't mean it like that, I don't have a complete route that starts at Chesham but I do for heathrow. And accomodation wise and getting to and from the start/finish point heathrow, is easier for both of us

that makes no sense u have just shot urself of 5 guaranteed olympia trains that will run on that day plus finishing points if start later will also lose regular minutes of service good luck mmerunner if we see some people running around desperate for a train we look out.

Those trains may be reliable but the make you have to wait about 8 minutes @ Olympia and at least 9 at earls court

if u are refering to what i believe you are referring to then u are talking absolute rubbish i dont even need to look at the timetables as u missing a classic tube challenger trick. if not ask me ask geoff the record holder because he clearly states that on his website the triangle of power.

the triangle of power refers to hsk earls ct and gloucester rd a perfect traingle on the map.

for example if on circle heading s bound at hsk and u want to go to earls ct i use starkey run unless i knew a district be it olympia or wimbleware right up my trumpet.

if going northbound at earls ct to edgware rd i still use starkey run if i knew no district gong that way to hsk i split the differance and think i might get lucky with a circle from hsk if i knew it was running at say s ken where those helpful boards are.

and although i have never done it myself u can get off at s ken and beat the same train u came off at west brompton by running it.

This helpful boards at s ken have unfortunately been "closed" according to the Station master blog page.
but that is very useful to know thanks

Not sure if I needed to or not, but you can probably guess by my other thread that I'm up for the 14th for a big fart (couldn't resist. There goes the neighborhood...)

It's quite likely I will be in London on FART day. I'm not going to do a Full Network Challenge but I am hoping to complete the full network. :?

In other words, I'm planning to visit all the remaining stations on the standard tube map that I've not yet been to. That's Morden, KenO and the Metropolitan line stations in the far North West (beyond Moor Park) to complete the Underground, plus about half of the Overground stations.

In the unlikely event that I bump into any of you, I will cheer you on and may ride along with you for a short while (depending on where you're going at the time).
