Should any of the above happen, I think it will be reset... however, I don't actually see any of them happening - no time within the next 10 years anyway. The most likely thing to happen that will cause a reset in my opinion will be when the District line stops going to Olympia completely.
Attempts: 2 (17h38m, 238 stations) (unknown, 200 stations); Completions: 0; GWR: 0; PBs: 0.

I'd expect a reset on several if not all of those. I could see Ken O services being totally cut in the next couple of years.

Not sure what happens if Ken O is only in service for a couple of exhibitions a year, would we have a situation like (I think) New York where they can only attempt the GWR when there's a race on at the race course?

Kenny O still retains a (severely limited) weekday service, which is detailed in the leaflet about the timetable change:
  • 05.50 to Edgware Road
  • 06.06 to High Street Kensington
  • 06.15 to High Street Kensington
  • 06.24 to High Street Kensington
  • 06.32 to Edgware Road
  • 19.58 to High Street Kensington
  • 20.38 to High Street Kensington
The only service trains TO Kenny O are 19.41 and 20.21 from High Street Kensington (19.45/20.25 at Earl's Court).

Cheers,

Barry

Yeah I'd seen that - plus the explanation which was the low number of passengers and the alternative transport available. I can see that they might review it in a year and if the numbers are still low then they might well cut the remaining trains
