Your fine, there is still the Heathrow Express or Heathrow Connect which are accepting travelcards at the mo, so no need to panic!

I'd imagine they'd be able to fix it in 7 hours though!

Oh well that's nice of them. Didn't know that.

Back on topic though. I see the circle line is getting delays now too :(

No, the Circle line's okay. The District line's a bit delayed, but the Heathrow thing is the real bum. I hope that they'll sort it out in time. Otherwise HÃ¥kan and Co will have to run across the tarmac from Hatton Cross to Heathrow to get the the first train out...

Yes, they are finishing at Heathrow.

I know where they should be round about now but I haven't had a message from Hakan since 4pm, so I have no idea how they're doing ...

Update: Hakan due through Archway in 30 minutes. I'm outta here. Back in a bit to let you know how he's doing.

I won't be staying with him to the end.

I'm back.

It's touch and go. A couple of slight delays in the Mill Hill East area and Hakan and Lars are looking at finishing just inside midnight, which would give them a new record.

Hakan will text me the result in the next two hours ...

H123.

Hakan reckons they're on for a 23.53 finish at the current rate.

Without delays, the record will have 10 to 15 minutes coming off it. Less than an hour to go ...
