Just stumbled across details of Geoff Marshall's forthcoming show at the London Transport Museum. Is this generally known about?

Re: Tubespotting with Geoff Marshall
I'm not going to pay £10 for someone to give me reasons to do tube challenging. I already have reasons.

Re: Tubespotting with Geoff Marshall
What? I read the description - he's simply telling his story and giving people reasons to do the tube challenge. I have read his story on his website, and I already have my own reasons to do tube challenging, so logically I have no reason to go.

Re: Tubespotting with Geoff Marshall
Where I credit Geoff with being responsible for most people tube challenging exploits. i can relate to what orange one is saying here he has his own reasons for tube challenging and at moment he has two records so he must be very good at it.The Orange One wrote:What?

orange one in a short time has passed expectations and in future will probably surpass Geoff in tube legend status as I did in only such a short time.

Re: Tubespotting with Geoff Marshall
Andi- we know your position, do you really have to state it every time Geoff is mentioned? It's rather tiresome to say the least.

Re: Tubespotting with Geoff Marshall
To be fair I don't think Geoff's talk is aimed at us. But if it brings more people to the tube challenge community then that has to be good.

Re: Tubespotting with Geoff Marshall
Geoff's taking the show to Edinburgh I believe, so it must have some sort of broader appeal I would have thought. You can use the ticket to get into the LT museum too I believe so even if it's rubbish it's not a total waste
