Which brings us to the obvious question:
How did you do it in 1 hour 42 minutes?

We appear to have two conversations running simultaneously in this thread, it's confusing if somewhat amusing 
.
I remember seeing on one of Geoff's 275 write-ups that "it just felt like the Piccadilly line was running slightly faster than usual" at one particular point. Maybe, by sheer co-incidence and good fortune, this applied to all the lines?

My best Z1 route for a running (medium good) person consists of no more than 1h48m30s train ride. An additional 12m10s is spent running between stations. Furthermore some 11m30s is spent running inside stations. And finally an average of 28 minutes waiting for trains. This adds up to an expected completion time of around 2h40m.
With maximum luck (bribed drivers, perhaps?) it would be around 2h12m... Of course this could never happen!

I believe that map is not meant to be serious.

So this 1 hour 42 minutes. What's that all about then?

That was a real attempt. Using that map with a few little addons such as russell square and paddingtonhammersmith.

So you're saying you did all 64 Zone 1 stations (except Queensway) in 1h 42m, or was it more than that?

I cant say much until i know that jon isnt around.

Well I can't see if he's reading the forum, cos he's not a member!
And if he is, he's not logged on. Who is this mysterious "Jon" anyway?

A person who keeps chatting in my chatroom asking crazy questions like - ''is it hot in the tube'' how am i meant to know im not there.
Posted: 16 May 2006, 15:10
I can answer that - yes it is.
Never mind that Jon person - I can't stop him reading the forum I'm afraid.
And so what if he sees? From what you've told me, he doesn't appear to know much about tube challenging to be a threat to the timesheets.
