Mobility Bus route 965 between Riverhill Mobile Home Park and Kingston, Sainsbury's. One return journey Mondays and Fridays.
If you bash the full route, beware that Riverhill isn't the easiest place to get to/from, which may explain its reprieve.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Re: Counting - discussion thread
I'm not a fan of the mobility routes. But my least favourite of all is the number 969, which cruelly brought my hopes up on a cold February morning under Barnes Bridge (oh look, another bus comes here!) before dashing them (oh, just Tuesdays and Fridays if you're there at the right time).
All London buses: 23 hours 25 minutes (with Adham, David, Josh and Tangy)
Holds some alternative challenge records. Not sure which ones.

Well, 969 is coming up in the thread shortly; will you be the one to get it?

Re: Counting - discussion thread
I've got something a bit special lined up for 1000. If I don't get it in the main thread I'll post it in this one.

Re: Counting - discussion thread
I don't think you should be able to post it in here. After all, isn't this the discussion thread only?

Re: Counting - discussion thread
Not only did you not object to this, you specifically endorsed it!
Anyway, what I've got lined up relates to the whole game rather than just the number 1000.

I'm not going to spoil the surprise! The sooner we get to 1000, the sooner you'll find out.

Re: Counting - discussion thread
To make this a bit more fun (and hopefully speed the game along a bit), I'll give you some clues. There are 25 posts to go, of which I'm allowed to make a maximum of 12. So there will be at least 13 posts by other people, and conveniently there are 13 letters in the name of the mystery feature. Every time someone makes a counting game post I'll reveal one more letter. See if you can guess the whole thing.

Sadly, it's not a game of hangman. But I'll tell you for free that there's no P in it.
