UPDATE 08:30

Heading down to Wimbledon and have been acheiving "********" speeds (The missing word being that unmentionable person) They are ahead of scheudule. Must be due to the fact Andi only had 5 post challenge pints instead of the usual 7... :D

UPDATE 12:10 hrs

On the Bakerloo Line still behind schedule which means they may change ending, so could revert to the normal finishing station now........

I think that was the original plan, they always had an option for it be T5. Looks like T5 is currently in the frame.....

UPDATE 12:50 hrs

In Andi's words they have lost more time due to bad trains and are just about on GWR pace...

I guess that their own schedule which they are down on is inside GWR

EDIT

I just spoke to Andi at 1300hrs they are in sunny West London :D

Well to be exact they are 25mins outside their schedule which was 25mins inside GWR so you do the maths :wink: It will be a T5 finish.......

They are probably just bluffing me to make sure I waste time and money going out to meet them later.......... :roll: Unless they reckon they can claw back 15 mins somehow......

They have just run To West Ruislip in a gut busting 5mins 20 secs and made a Central Line with 20 secs. to spare.... Looking like they are now clawing time back again....
