One thing to be aware of - the route won't work well as it is because Kensington Olympia tubes don't run all day as they did in 2009.

Interestingly I've been researching the route recently as well. As has been noted, it doesn't work quite so well owing to the changes to the Kenny O service. It is possible to work that in later on in the route, which I reckon adds about 20 minutes. There's also a 6 minute addition to the time in that the Goodge Street reversal now moves south to Tottenham Court Road owing to the closure of TCR on the Central Line. So I would have expected my calculations to have returned a time of 17:14 (bearing in mind that the Richmond and Heathrow trains are every 10 minutes) but my calculations are returning 17:24 so I'm still unsure where my other 10 minutes have gone!
