Following the high level of competitiveness at this year's Games, I think it is time I changed my signature from this:

CURRENT TRAMLINK & RANDOM 15 RECORD HOLDER
Current 60 Minute Challenge Record Holder with Jonny
OVERALL CHAMPION WINTER TUBE OLYMPICS 2010
Winner - Random 15 Championship 2009/2010
FASTEST TIME ON DLR 40 STATION CONFIGURATION

to this:

Held some Alternative Challenge records for a long time.
Doesn't any more.

I am yet to start mine, although I have crossed the Jubilee and Central today. It's just a clever ploy to get the record using the time-travelling 1958 from Olympia to HSK, which will take me back to 1958.

Tube Olympics (winter edition) 2014 has now come to an end. Thanks to everyone who took the time and effort to take part, and congratulations to those who managed to get onto the podium at each individual event. This Tube Olympics has involved the trains not playing ball in some of the events but that is the nature of these Games. The next Tube Olympics will be the summer edition in 2016, the committee will be meeting to discuss potential host cities.

The final medal positions are discussed in a separate thread.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!
