Remember when half an hour slower was deemed "unbeatable"!

I know a Ronan McDonald. He taught me physics at school. He always cycled into school though, so I wouldn't have thought it was him. This was the school that ran the Random 6 tube challenge where your team was allowed to split up and divide and conquer, though.

Holds some alternative challenge records. Not sure which ones.

I'd love to know if they had a perfect run or even got lucky with some bus connections. I don't expect this to be beaten before the CRL opens now, considering the record has only been broken six times since Wood Lane was opened.

Is it also a coincidence that since Wood Lane, the record still hasn't been broken on a Tuesday or on a Wednesday?

I reckon it could be beaten again. It needs a good run but it's not unbeatable
