Captain Chaos strikes back!

I just watched a video on their website of him, and compared it to Geoff's on YouTube and I don't think he will have any weight issues now, he should find it a lot easier than he did! Good luck to him (but not too much )

I thought I'd held that title every year. Probably since about 1989.

Next Thursday appears to be the date. Tempted to go looking for him.

[The Raven]

We've spotted them at Baker Street! Go Richie Go!

[Nigel]

I've just had a ride up to Epping & back with them. They seem to be holding up well, despite me being in disgrace for not bringing any tea.

[Iain]

We met up with Geoff at West Hampstead - we had no tea as we'd guessed wrong where they were going from H&W and had to make a sudden switch, in the end I think they were on the third train through and we only spotted Richie because of his bright neon yellow jacket. Nice to finally meet Geoff though

After that we rode with them for a few spot into Baker Street - we did offer to do tea duties but got turned down, so headed off to do a south of the river challenge which ran aground fairly quickly - the record time seems tough to beat as we only had ddelays worthy of note at two stations and we were well outside the record. Still a fun new challenge.

We slipped in lunch and a few pints during the day which livened things up - we were tempted to go out to try to find them again in the evening but it sounded like they had supplies lined up so we headed off for a Chinese

Tune in this morning to find out how it ended.

[Steeevooo]

Or alternatively just look at Geoff's own advertised twitter feed to see that they missed Olympia so therefore didn't even get a completion.

[tubeguru]

Well they only missed Olympia, and that was due to the late-night Olympia trains being cancelled.

[kateyay]

It's been mentioned a lot on their Breakfast Show already... But they did only manage the 269 sadly. Lots of delays during the day apparently, I was only there along with Matt, Chris and Vicki at the end.

Journey Planner had an advertised Olympia service, one train every 30 minutes, from around 10.30am. However the Olympia service wasn't running all day - just the normal few trains in the evening and early morning. VERY interesting...

Similarly, today, the Journeyplanner data for today, shows an Olympia service every 30 minutes.

I wonder if it will run...?

[tubeguru]

So yesterday and today are the only days that any of us will ever listen to Absolute Radio then?

They had planned their day to get an advertised late night Olympia service.

The advertised service was incorrect (so we're hearing).

What is the point of JourneyPlanner if its incorrect.

[al]

Maybe this high profile example of it being wrong will encourageTFL to ensure its accuracy in future?

[greatkingrat]

Looking back at the original spreadsheet of dates TfL provided, there was never supposed to be an Olympia service yesterday or today. There doesn't appear to be any exhibition on either. There is a service all next week for the Horse Show.

So I guess there must of been some mix up when they uploaded the timetables into Journey Planner.

[Nigel]

Earlier this year there were some days when the Exhibition service was running, but it wasn't shown in Journey Planner. Yesterday, it wasn't running but was shown in Journey Planner. And on my Challenge in June, when it was running and was shown in Journey Planner, it actually ran 15 minutes late (or early) compared with the every half hour advertised time. What a shambles!
