You can almost do it on a Saturday now ...
Did everyone see this:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/press/2005/a ... 050428.asp
From May 7th, Temple is going to be open on Sundays, and Cannon Street - previously closed all weekend is now going to be open on Saturdays between 07.20 and 19.40 ... so if it wern't for Shoreditch still be closed on Satrudays, you could do the whole 275 attempt on a Saturday!
So when the ELL comes 'off' being the tube network, attempts will therefore be possible at the weekend! oooohhh!

That's (apparently) when it leaves LUL hands, so it won't be one of the great Twelve Lines of the system, so it will be easier. Apparently.

I'm just saying it will be possible to *attempt* it on a Saturday. I don't reckon you could break the record on a Saturday...
The East London Line will cease to be part of the tube network once the extension work is complete.
So then it'll be "Eleven Lines... One Record..." and Joy54 will have to get his signature updated.

Although I would agree that its unlikely that a record would be broken on a Saturday. The tube is generally more punctual and reliable, with faster journey times on Saturdays. Unfortunately the frequencies are less, and as was mentioned there are almost always engineering works.geofftech wrote:I'm just saying it will be possible to *attempt* it on a Saturday.

Yes, this is a very important point and one you are all missing.geofftech wrote:I'm just saying it will be possible to *attempt* it on a Saturday. I don't reckon you could break the record on a Saturday...

The early morning and late evening timetables are NOT the same as during the week, then you have tourists for more of the day, late night revellers causing trouble ... and then what if they bring in this new late night running at weekends? How will THAT affect it?
Weekends are bad for full challenges.

the only difference between saturday timetables and normal timetables is the peak service surely?
even if the ELL did stay in the hands of LUL the old record would be frozen, so new times would have to be set. its perfectly possible, and clapham junction would not be the problem - you realise its going to west croydon aswell? thatd be a nightmare.
by the way who is taking control of the ELL, does anyone know? cos if its silverlink i'm leaving crystal palace!!!
