'fraid i'm not a london native so can't really help out, but i wish you the best of luck in achieving that minimum time and maybe even beating anyone who might have beat you out to it!
and i especially wish you luck for the bravery of attempting it on a monday! not any old monday, but the first one back to work for a lot of people after the holiday period!

*** UPDATE ***
Andi & Sarah departed from Amersham at 05:28:29 this morning, so they are almost 30 secs up on schedule already!
I took the train up to Chesham with them and then said goodbye at Chalfont & Latimer. Their train seemed to be held for around a minute at C&L so the arrival at Moor Park might have been tight.
It was a very cold and windy morning up at Amersham so I don't envy the guys today. At least it was not raining.
If I hear anything during the day I will update details here.

**UPDATE**
Looks like Moor Park went wrong so subsequently put them a little behind schedule and they have altered their route plans, however they tell me that due to this they are on the "bit with problems" which I guess is the Jubilee as at 0945hrs is showing severe delays.......

Given that we failed at Moor Park/Watford (= 10 minute after schedule) on both our last attempts (Sep -07), and that Soup Dragon's successful attempt (Dec 29) suffered in the same way, and now this - the question arises:
Has anybody managed a Watford departure on plan lately?
