Hahaha! Will you boycott Guinness products until they change it?

Anyone know what the Guinness par time was for the current configuration?

I agree Geoff that Olympia will probably close before this the only difference is Olympia closing won't effect routes it will just speed up times by approx 20 mins. where this will make for interesting and different routes.

Roll on the closing of Weekday service if & when it happens as have a route ready for the day after.

Whether people will crack the 16 hour mark I'm not sure especially with the network as it is at the moment but no olympia will see a change in the record.

if Olympia comes 'off' the network, i.e. NO trains at all Mon-Fri, then that's a clear map/record reset! 'cause there's one less station!
I think Nozza is refering to whether a non ken o the 16h barrier would be beaten not whether the record would be reset u have to ask Guinness what their interpretation would be it wont happen until december if does anyway.

My interpretation on the Nozza comment was:
- Given the state of the current network it's debatable whether the 16h mark will be cracked
- The absence of Olympia will see a change in the record.

Sorry was not very clear.

When olympia closes yes it will be new record.

With that said unless there is improvements in the network's performance I don't think the new time will go under 16 hours.

Service Update during rush hour:

Bakerloo
Good Service

Central
Good Service

Circle
Good Service


You get the idea....

It formed part of a long-standing internal argument in the school over whether to use the tube or not.

When is your rush hour?!! During the Evening peak today, the Central line was part suspended, the H&C line was part suspended, the District line was part suspended. You get the idea...

Listening to magic radio at the hospital at 18:30, the lady presenter was advising people to stay in the office due to how bad the problems on the tube were! Yeah, good service indeed :lol: :roll:
