Gentlemen, gentlemen I am indeed shocked to hear of such behaviour and I thought you were all trustworthy souls and decent folk

The first train should NOT be delayed - that indeed would be a very unfair advantage.
I've held a piccadilly train at Cockfosters before for over two minutes but that is at the risk of missing say a connection further down the line and suffering an even greater delay.
The stopwatch should start when the doors begin to close and stop when the doors are fully open. That way if you decide to delay the first train - the delay is incurred within your time.

Door holding is surprisingly difficult when you're holding a train at Hammersmith with a rather beefy-looking chappy in the carriage who is giving you evils and looks like he might just get up and move you out of the way with his fist if you carry on...
Especially if your team-mates decide to use the toilet and arrive via the WRONG F**KING STAIRS!!! without even bothering to tell you...

You're secretly jealous that they get the credit for breaking the record (subject to confirmation), and you get no thanks for running after them all day with food, aren't you?

Just for the record, Chris was with us for about 3 hours during the course of our attempt, though he was not present for any of our good connections! Although he did provide us with some musical entertainment with his entirely random belting out of the Grandstand theme tune...Anthony, you definitely do not have a rival in Chris
Oh, and Chris....if you actually were to ask us for your walkie-talkies and your stopwatch, then we would be able to arrange to give them back!
