Well, I'm guessing since nothing has been heard it's going to be on the 14th of May!

Re: Sub-surface Challenge 2016
I don't think I'm revealing any big secrets by pointing out that getting the 1241 Chiltern train is useless (get the 1246) as it just means a longer wait at Chalfont & Latimer for a Chesham.
Anyway, given that there's no train south out of Amersham after 1230 until 1241, would it be allowed to arrive on the 1157 Chiltern from Marylebone due 1232?

Re: Sub-surface Challenge 2016
To start with I thought the same, but after playing around I found I would start there anyway (if I did it), so it really doesn't/wouldn't matter!TC95 wrote:Likewisegreatkingrat wrote:Am interested, but would prefer to be able to choose our own starting station.

Re: Sub-surface Challenge 2016
I'd start at either Chesham or Amersham, I think it doesn't make much sense starting anywhere else! Perhaps Upminster, I guess, but there's just so few trains up in the NW Corner plus it's so far out and I'd rather not leave it to chance.

Re: Sub-surface Challenge 2016
Do we have a post challenge meet for this?
I suggest we find a darts pub near Fenchurch Street, since I'd imagine we'll all be trying to finish at Upminster. Then again, if anyone objects we can just move to one of our usual haunts.

Re: Sub-surface Challenge 2016
I will text my result to Josh as I won't be finishing until around 2030hrs and and it won't be Upminster So I plan to head straight home.... Even with Upminster finish it doesn't leave a lot of pub/darts time.... The start is a bit late for that really..The Orange One wrote:Do we have a post challenge meet for this?

Re: Sub-surface Challenge 2016
I've redone my route and I don't think I'll be finishing at Upminster either. The timetables I believe to be dreadful (especially with regards to Uxbridge - Ealing Broadway connections) so what I will do is finish at Chalfont and Latimer instead. You can tell me I'm crazy, but that's what the timetables say so I'm not listening to you.
07 - 18 - 31 - 32 - 44 - 59
And yes, the start is a bit late for darts, I'm sure Josh has something worked out though.
