Don't know why you're going to waste your money/time/energy on doing an attempt in January when you already have the record and Tube Olympics is less than a month later...

Well to be honest, only mental people would even think about going out in January so I can't see anyone trying to challenge the record until at least Tube Olympics....

OK point taken. Other car park operators are available. As always, on-street parking's your best bet (and free if you know where to look).

I think even if i had 24 attempts 24 records i still be going out friday and i got to admit tube 22 i did enjoy most of it being alone.I still think i can get up to the 52 attempts before something bad happens to me :( Garion has voluntered to do updates and im sure a few others will as well.

Go to Highways Agency and click on Weather Watch link at right, eg here's the weather conditions for today. Unless someone has better advice...

Andi started out at 06.23 but only ten minutes later, the train got delayed. Jad a phone call a short while later and was told that he was aborting (at 07.28) but decided to help some mystery challengers who are also giving it a go.
