I have enough trouble remembering who is who - especially the hundreds of Browns that inhabit this board - without them making duplicate accounts :roll:

Well I didn't delete it ...

Getting back on topic here briefly, is it wise to do a full challenge on a Friday? The evening rush hour is longer and there are more drunk people to cause trouble after 11pm.

No its not wise to do a this challenge on a Friday as we have learnt many times in the past, we where planning to do it today (Thursday) but Starkey could not make it today so I was changed to Friday.

For me, Fridays usually just involve taking one day off work, whereas doing a challenge on any other day of the week would probably result in me having to take two days off.

Pro's and cons really...... I believe that there have been 3 or 4 failed attempts to get inside 18hrs 15mins since the ELL closure and none of those were on a Friday......
I believe that Steven Kharahan got his GWR on a Friday.......
My own Friday attempts have not gone well but that was due over running engineering works and it was all over at Moor Park......
Then the signal failure on the Viccie Line at around 7pm causing a 40 min delay..... So the above haven't been contributary factors.....As for drunks after 11pm we are scheduled to finish at T5 at 2234hrs, so that shouldn't be a problem :P :wink:

This is also true, I am sitting here at work now getting paid for being on the forum where as initially I had booked today and tomorrow off work....... :)

I was idly wondering what time I'd have to set off in order to see you off.
However, I then realised that I'd only be able to do about 3 stations with you before I had to turn round and head up to Brum for work.
Sorry guys, but 180 mile round trip just isn't quite sane in the very early hours of the morning.

Good Luck!
