I defy anyone to be behind schedule at Chalfont and Latimer.

good luck to the team anyway! I see a few minor delays but hopefully they're not having too much of an impact at this stage.

I think we have to acknowledge the fact that Ping Pon is just acting as an overenthusiatic journalist today... :)

I think that with such sensationalist writing, a career in one of the tabloids awaits him ;)

Sitting in an IT training suite in Norwich right now, but looking forward to catching up with the team later on this evening. Does anyone know if there have been network delays on the tube today?

How can they have made the Harrow run but no train was there, surely that means they missed it....

Also, they may be a shocking 45 minutes behind schedule, but how much leeway does their schedule have? If their schedule broke the record by 30 minutes, then all is not that bad, a more accurate indication would be how far behind record breaking time they are.

Checked our records - we had station 200 after 12h45m on our record run and after 12h35m on our March attempt (different routes). Seems like an uphill battle from now on...

Last train through HT4 is at 00:06 - will they make all 275?
