ABORTED 2030 HOURS
Only 20 stations left to do but time looking at best 17hrs 23mins maybe 17hrs 53mins
Heavy traffic on wet roads caused bad delays...............
Stig II was Sarah and she enjoyed the day...........

It's a shame you couldn't finish. Better luck next time, and I have no doubt whatsoever that there will be a next time.
By Sarah do you mean Sara?

yes sara she spells without a H she came out of retirement to practise for cin day.
The day went really well i wont give any details of the route away because we had to change because of jubilee but surfice to say here was some of the luck we had
a c2c with 1 min to spare at Tower Hill
11 secs at west Ruislip for a perfect Hainault loop train
1 min wait for ken o train at earls court
bus 307/299 combined no running to cockfosters
bus 291 for 1 stop maybe not a benefit but saved some energy.

If you caught a 291 bus then you must have been very lost!

If you caught the bus between Richmond and Fulham then it was a 391.

While we're on the subject about the seemingly mythical U1 bus, have you ever managed to catch the
U10?
