LU150 Art Commission, with a Tube Challenge Connection

[Sam]

Sorry, but can I just ask why the hell Tangy wasn't allowed to know as he was also part of that record breaking route? That is appaling to me....

[The Raven]

Just bought the guardian as a souvenir. A proud day for the tube challenge, I feel

Me too!

[tubeguru]

So now "artontheunderground" has completed his covert mission of sneaking in here to speak to Andi and Steve about it I can delete his account, I presume.

And I too am interested as to why Tangy was "not allowed" to know what was happening?

[greatkingrat]

If my calculations are correct, I think I can look forward to seeing labyrinth 217 at High Barnet at some point soon.

Leave artontheunderground's profile intact for a while, it would be cool if it posted here.

I somehow doubt he'll be back.

[palkanetoijala31]

I was not allowed to speak about it before it being commissioned hence therefore could not tell him.

Of course you could - he was one of the record holders! He was hardly going to tell anyone was he?

to be honest what could i have told him i didnt know the artwork involved whether it be a maze or a labyrinth i also didnt know it was going to be every station.

in theroy yes i suppose i could have told him and sworn him to secrecy but then that would have also taken away the surprise!

Well, as the cat is now out of the bag, what DID he say to you when he contacted you?

[palkanetoijala31]

Only that an artwork had been commissioned and was it possible for us to help wiv route I passed Steve contact details on to him I was not involved in any discussions

I thought Geoff would NEVER revel your 2004 route?

I doubt he would, and neither would I; I was being all funny and ting.

I guess you're frightened of giving away your Shoreditch gambit?

[tubeguru]

Bloody annoying station. This was back in the day when trains to Shoreditch only ran at certain times of day, so we had to make sure we were in the area by about 3pm, otherwise we'd miss it!

i can't even remember the whole of our 2004 route now. it might have involved a Warren Street to Euston Square run though. and i know we did Uxbirdge/Ickenham/West Ruislip at the last run of the day, coming down the Central, changing at Mile End for the District and up to Upminster.

oh, i also remember we didn't run Chiswick Park to Gunnersbury. it hadn't occurred to me to do that back then. it's all got a lot faster now with everyone knowing more and more of the sneaky ways to g (of which i'm not going to mention!). so it probably wouldn't be so bad if the 2004 route was revealed.

I'll see if I can dig out my notebook/maps from the day. I can't remember a Warren Street/Euston run, but that doesn't mean we didn't do it!
