Joy 54 - GWR attempt live updates

Post by Going Underground »

OK early doors Steven had a 3 minute wait at Moor Park which meant that he missed the train out of Watford and was still 10 mins down at H & W......

However a couple of rather nifty bus connections has clawed that time back and he is currently heading upto Edgware and is bang on schedule for a 2304hrs finish at T5.......

Is he alone doing this attempt or are they more team members.?At least the network seems to be holding up pretty well for him.

For a bus?
I would have been tempted to start going on foot to the next bus stop, and then the one after, etc etc. It's only a mile and would take about eleven minutes at a light jogging pace.

As Steven's train was pulling into Finchley Central the Mill Hill East Shuttle was just pulling out! :x I belive Steven & Tangy have gone out to look for a Bus to Mill Hill.

LIVE UPDATE 23:08
Steven has departed Acton Town at 23:05 (think this is the 23:02 running 3 minutes late).
Should arrive at Heathrow T4 at 23:28, and with the wait get to T123 at 23:40.
So in theory he will make the 23:41 arriving T5 at 23:44.

This will give a time of 18h16m..... just 1 minute outside GWR target :shock:
One day I shall return!
