GWR Full Network Attempt Fri 18th April - Live updates

[palkanetoijala31]

Have texted them that they need to make 22.44 from hammersmith d & p for the record anything after that is to the gods.presume they might have made the connection at this moment at edgware road if they do record is theres if not its a 1 min connection between the 2 at Hammersmith can u run that fast between them.?

[palkanetoijala31]

I can confirm this they should have a 9 min connection at hammersmith baring disaster should be a world GWR.Support team tried but couldnt hold up a scheduled train for them this would have broken the 18h barrier

[palkanetoijala31]

i dont think they can make the earlier connection as it leaves the same time they get into h&c hammersmith but 22.44 is enough to give them a 18h 06 mins time and new world record.

LATEST UPDATE 22.57PM

Magnifcient 7 on a t5 train so have to change at hatton cross for a terminal 4 train just got out of Hounslow east will be a GWR although there is a 1 min connection at the end to t5 but shouldnt be any problem.fingers crossed

Surely 18:15 will be at 23:43:16? We're not quite there yet...

My best estimate (for what I believe is their route) would be a 30% chance to make the 23:14 (or better), a 50% chance to make the 23:24 (or better) and a 70% chance to make the 23:34 (or better). Otherwise they have probably had some bad luck out of the ordinary...

(When we set our GWR we were on the 70% mark).

There's a lot of people on the forum atm.

Quite - my brain isn't quite functioning correctly at this time, for which I apologise. I lost half an hour in my excitement

around 3% according to my statistical model...

(The average arrival is around 23:20 with a standard deviation of around 18 minutes - which may look a bit strange to the statistically inclined, but the distribution is somewhat skewed and not very gaussian).

[palkanetoijala31]

i believe it soon be over 23.34 finish Gwr soon to be announced?

Rachel's reaction on 3CR suggests they've got the record... it was just "YEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Final time: 17:56:28
