OK, let me re-word it.Nigel wrote:Not true - I didn't use an A stock on 25 August!tubeguru wrote:I should like to point out that this is probably (because I don't know if anyone else is out today) the first ever full network attempt which will not use an A-stock train.
IF THEY COMPLETE THE NETWORK, it will be the first ever full network completion without using an A-stock.

Did Geoff use an A-Stock on his recent completion? By that point there would only have been a couple of A stocks floating about.

This is the first attempt where it is impossible to use an A-Stock?

Re: Urzzz1871 + friends 1st go - 27th September 2012
I think my intention was to imply that it would not be POSSIBLE to use one. Who's going to be the first person to do a full completion without being able to use a 96 Stock, I wonder? It might be a few years before we find that one out ...

Re: Urzzz1871 + friends 1st go - 27th September 2012
We've been through this. If you fail to complete because of a delay caused by the Underground, then of course the network "failed". The only other possibility (barring an accident to a team member) would be that your route was so epically rubbish that you just couldn't get to the end station before the last train.
As people hardly ever suffer this last fate, it would imply that barring accidents the ONLY cause of failure on a full-network challenge is "network failure" of some description.
So why not blame it?
