Most of the 2009 CR attempt is a blur to me now, I can only remember specific parts of the day. Mostly thanks to the DVD though :P

I remember mine as freshly as if it were yesterday - and tomorrow is the fourth anniversary!

Should I give away my route too? Hmmm....

Kevin's a nice bloke, but does he really deserve a special TV programme about him? :lol:

I noticed on that video it shows Heathrow Terminal 4 as station 270/270. Surely that can't be right?

Yes, it does, but take a close look at the table of info... it also says 268 as well as 270. Very confusing.

Andi videos of the 2009 record shows them standing on Heathrow T123 station with the clock still running.

Must be a mistake. Unless Andi has been moving the Labarinths around...

It's like Tractakid says, there's an alternative numbering on the spreadsheet which fits with a standard T5 finish
Full Network: Three completions, Best time: 17:18:18 - thanks Glen, Andrew and Rhys!
Former DLR 45 station record holder (with Glen, Andi and Stevo) - 2h:08m:57s
All lines: 46:11 (6th equal)
Zone One 2:52:51 (thanks Glen)

The list/table she checks through and reads from. You can see the column headings when they show you Chesham, about 1:06 into the video, then Heathrow is shown afterwards. For Heathrow the column titled 'tube challenge number' and the column titled 'station name and unique number' read differently. No idea why. She obviously read it by the 'tube challenge number', which isn't what happened in real life.
