The Swedish June 2 attempt - live updates
In this thread there will be (ir)regular updates throughout the day - to the bitter end. During the day I'll text the progress to my work collegue Malin in our office back in Sweden. After office hours, probably Steven K will continue the updates!
We will probably report how we are doing according to our plan for the better part of the day. The plan is to finish at HT5 at 23:14. However, if we get into the late game we'll probably start reporting most likely finish time instead.
Now, we're off to bed here at Nita's in Amersham!

Re: The Swedish June 2 attempt - live updates
Just checking details of our record attempt by 13:00 we had done 113 stations, this of course means nothing as the routes will be completely different but it's interesting to see how the numbers stack up! By 14:15 we had completed 132 stations, but we still had our big problem to come at Fenchurch Street.
One day I shall return!

Re: The Swedish June 2 attempt - live updates
Here is the latest on TFL:
HAMMERSMITH & CITY LINE: Suspended between Barking and Moorgate and minor delays are occurring on the rest of the line due to an army investigation in the Bromley by Bow area.
I wonder what this could be.... perhaps a UXB? And if the H&C is suspended why not the District as well? All very odd indeed
UPDATE.... even odder, the District Line is part suspended but TFL does not show this on the line status.
DISTRICT LINE: Suspended between Whitechapel and Plaistow and minor delays are occurring on the rest of the line due to an army investigation in the Bromley by Bow area.
