Three times we have asked the driver at Chesham at get to Moor Park as quickly as possible to meet the Watford bound train and on all occasions they have been more than happy to oblige...
Our support team have asked a driver ready to depart Richmond to wait a couple of minutes until our Richmond bound train arrived.....
2 drivers at Whitechapel expressed a great interest in how our attempt was going and allowed us to video them regarding the Shoreditch debate....
A very nice female driver at Uxbridge agreed to get us to moving as quickly as possible, following a delay in sick being cleared up in one of the carriages....
Upon a mad dash on an evening Z1 at Oxford Circus changing from Central to Bakerloo as we sat down in carriage one the driver opened his door and asked us how we were getting on in the challenge.....
I am sure there have been others that I have forgotten, but in general TfL staff have always appeared genuinally interested in what we are doing...
I don't think that we've done anything wrong here and a suggestion that we have tried to bend rules is somewhat offensive.moley wrote:Be very very careful here.Going Underground wrote: Also I have found the TfL staff more than helpful on our attempts...

Guiness promote a certain spirit within the World Records and that does not include bending the rules.
Yes - we all do it, hold the odd door open here or there, jump the barrier to go the wrong way down the corridor BUT actually seeking and getting help in such way as to change the (effective) timetable of a train by the driver agreeing to wait is not likely to be seen by Guiness as in the sprit.
If you must do it fine - but don't be so explicit about it. It is a good connection onto a late running train - that's all. Nothing more.
Generally if a driver is ready to depart with a green signal then he is on-timetable.Going Underground wrote:Our support team have asked a driver ready to depart Richmond to wait a couple of minutes until our Richmond bound train arrived.....
