Seen now. Thanks for clearing that up (in more ways than one

)

I guess we better either find some more members, or persuade TfL to close some stations!

That could reduce the GWR time considerably.

Typically, all of the Hainault loop, Mill Hill East, Olympia, HT4 and Chesham will still be open, with at least one train a day.

And typically they would all run at the same time...

I just had a thought. If, on a record breaking tube challenge time, it was discovered that the tube challenger had crossed the railway tracks on foot (to save time?!), would they be disqualified?
Obviously, they would be an absolute idiot regardless of what the ruling would be.

How on earth would Guinness ever find out?

Of course there is no guarantee, but if there was proof...?

OK, so let's say that LU get some CCTV footage of you running across the tracks. Are they going to automatically assume you're on a challenge and think, "Oh, I'd better send that to Guinness?"
And what if you're caught? It'll be challenge over anyway, so you won't be sending anything to Guinness, who won't find out.

It would probably be the sort of thing that surfaces after a record has been claimed, after someone recognises them on the news report.

I reckon you could get away with it. If you're not caught, no one is going to know it was you.

Not getting caught is a big proviso!
And not getting electrocuted in haste crossing the track!
