I think it should only be a list of complete challenges.

Meaning I haven't actually done the full network, because I didn't visit Shoreditch, thinking I wouldn't have to.

Which is fine by me, because the time isn't worth mentioning...

The reason I say to include all attempts is to show just how popular this record is and how difficult it is to actually visit all stations in 1 day.

i think there should be a table showing the top times that are completed then it goes down to the most stations visited and if two teams are tied it should be the one with the best time
One has lost the game !!!!!

I think Ping Pon's idea is perhaps the best, though I doubt that I'll be able to construct the whole league table very easily. Everyone please post here their scores.

That seems a bit of a strange reason after just 12:44!

Not really, this was the infamous Friday 13th attempt that lost over 45mins at Moor Park and we were way behind the clock at Baker Street...

We were changing from Jubilee to Circle it was very busy and I went the "correct" way up the stairs and couldn't get past a crowd of people. When I got to the top it transpired someone had collapsed and Soupie and The Dr had got ahead of me so I missed the connection... :roll:

It was already game over by that stage anyway...

Would it be useful if you also recorded the dates when people undertook the attempts? It would be interesting to see how whether times have generally decreased over the last 5 years or so, and whether this is down to system improvements. Not that long ago 19.5 hours was a respectable time, but not any more

I've always kept quiet about my own attempts, but in truth there's never been that much to shout about!

I might have to get some times out of the cupboard....
