As it's a Tuesday I will be available to help from 17:30 onwards. Can also offer to stop watch if you don't have anyone else available to do this. All the best Antony
p.s. just checking that you do mean Tuesday? As 28th May is a Wednesday?

I may well be about to support most of the day, get some grub and stop the watch, it all depends on what happens the previous day Editorsfoot attempt......

Yeh Parsons Green was pretty lucky!! Good chips as well, was really lucky it was advertised as a Barking train right up until it came in and then changed to Edgware Road just as scxrisi called me to check.

just a small warning for you both that day, there is the International Friendly England vs USA at Wembley on the 28th, with the unusual kick off time of 8.05pm. I doubt you will be trying to cover that area in the evening anyway, but just so you're aware...

Re: GWR Attempt- May 28th (Wednesday before Z1)
i might be sounding an alarm but it would have been good news for Mr Editorsfoot seeing as he cant do due to a broken ankle that tuesday 27th may a blockage of London Transport is being arranged.Would this create a knock on effect for the morning trains on the wednesday.

all i could find when trying to look up what you're on about is a planned lorry blockage of the A40 in protest of fuel prices and congestion charge. nothing to do with public transport/tubes.....
Re: GWR Attempt- May 28th (Wednesday before Z1)
well im thinking that if all the roads are blocked up it cause so many people to get on the tube and more trains will break down thus creating the knock on effect.

I'm not sure that's quite how it works.cause so many people to get on the tube and more trains will break down
Although I could see LU using that as an excuse actually!
Re: GWR Attempt- May 28th (Wednesday before Z1)
Plus the enigineering staff that work overnight have to get to certain places and away from them ie the moor park connection at 06.22 is notorius for enigineering diffuculties.

Taken from an article in the news
Lorry drivers are to pour into London for what organisers hope will be the largest-ever fuel duty protest in the capital.
Hauliers are angry at soaring fuel prices which have resulted in the average cost of diesel passing far beyond the 120p-a-litre mark.
Led by lorry drivers from Kent, the protest is expected to attract hundreds of hauliers from all around the UK.
The convoy will make its way to central London, parking close to Marble Arch.
