cos i think hes a spy for a previous challenger as he seems to take ages to write a single sentence as if hes asking someone else what to say.

But all the times are on this site as well as a lot of explanations as to how people got their times.

He could get everything from that, so nothing you can say will change that. He's also not learnt much from what you've told me ...

What was your REAL route then? If we ignore that bogus map ...

If you had NO delays, and minimised walking, then surely there is no way that anybody else can beat it using the same route? Sounds like a perfect run to me. Which means you can post the route without worrying about anybody beating it.

It looks like a slow route - a few needless repetitions ...

So how did you manage to do Russell Square without doing an extra turn-around or extending your Covent Garden turn-around? And you saved time by walking between the two Paddingtons and then getting a train, as opposed to just using one train all the way round?

Hello ********.

It is a pleasure to speak to you at last after hearing about you on this forum.

My best run around Zone 1 was 2hrs 45mins, and that was an extremely good run; I would be very interested to see how you plan to take almost an hour off.

I am happy to divulge my route to you if you tell me yours. Please PM me as I would certainly be interested in finding out more.

Did you start on first Eastbound District line and finish southbound on Vickey line at Vauxhall?
If so we must have hit our stopwatch either a fraction earlier starting / finishing and tied :shock:
