Technically me and steve k still have the official gwr then Jay Flynn will have it for 14 days if he can prove it to guinness (he wasnt 100% sure he could as he was alone as well) Tim Roberts and Martha Jackson should technically have it after them if they are real! (please note that is sarcasm they havent decided to change the wikipedia changes into the seperate section and they havent come forth to say eh this is my time i did such and such from this station to this station for real note i could put forth geoff fantasy time 16h 28m onto wikipedia for example) for between 29/10/09 to 04/12/09
Then Sam Cawley witness by 4 members at least will have record for 10 days then it comes back full circle to me,Steeevooo and tangy with the 16h 44m 16s time which was secretive hence this post in Challenge attempts the very best of luck which is why this attempt was a secret.!to prove that i could.
So I need witnesses to prove I did the challenge yet you can go out and do a secret time witnessed by no tube challengers and it has to be taken as gospel, thanks Andi....

That was not what i meant u took wrong way! ur attempt was proved by at least 4 different people on the forum fact! i was having a rant about the time before urs in no way was i refering to ur time set on dec 4th i was explaining the reasons for our secret attempt on dec 14th and some of the reasons for it i took inspiration from the browns dec attempt in 2007 as well timetable changes or network changes.
In the old days yoiu could do it on your own and Guinness would accept it (Jack Welsby). Now they want more proof, which in turn compels people into thinking that they have to "prove themselves" in some way. It also makes people think that other people think they can't be trusted.
I mean yesterday I went out and did a 15 hours 43 minutes. Can you prove I didn't?

Guinness on average take around 4 months to verify so for example take jay for example sake if he took his evidence into Guinness say October 21st then around late february he should expect an answer.

We were verified in 5 weeks, which I contribute to excellent records, a great stop watch witness statement, and filing on the day after the attempt...

On the threshold view i believe with perfect connections 0 min waiting time at every station buses exactly when u want them i believe a 16h low time would be the fastest

I believe it's what's known as working "on paper". Even factoring in only a minute per change can easily add an extra hour over the actual being-on-trains part.
I believe the actual record for a change is 5 seconds flat at Uxbridge.
