Tube Challenge Write Up!
So what you have all been so eagerly waiting for has finally been completed, sorry it took so long!
There will be another site with this on courtesy of dr_chris which will have pictures integrated into the text, but until that is complete, you can visit http://www.freewebs.com/eaststirlingshi ... record.htm for the actual report and a link to the pictures from the day.
Sorry it is just a long block of text but this will be rectified when Chris has it on his site, this is just a temporary hosting place!
Cheers
Sam and Steve

I basically got very confused by a dot matrix departure board - thinking that 1, 2, 3 and 4 referred to the platforms of departure rather than the order of departure. So, having run ahead of Sam & Steve and arrived at Morden significantly before them, I walkie-talkied them to tell them to head to platform 3, I think it was. They then got in and queried me, and I assured them we were on the right platform. That was, until we saw a train from Platform 1 leave first. We ended up waiting an extra one or two minutes. Luckily this didn't cost them the record!

Easy mistake to make in the "heat of battle" but PHEW you are a lucky boy and thankfully wasn't too costly in the end
