Back by popular request there will be an evening Zone 1 from the eazy peazy starting station of Notting Hill Gate....

Meet outside the station at 1830hrs to start promptly followed by meet up afterwards at Earls Court McD's to digest the times and chew over the routes

Please confirm if you would like to attend

Should be able to make it depending on when it is

EDIT: Scrap that then, can't make it. Work.

An evening Z1, count me in.

2 days to go if anyone else wants to come along

I will come along tomorrow.

Oh flaming Nora, I've forgotten to plan a route!

Can we please make this a meet for 1830 if possible as I have a very early start on Weds, Thank you

So after a nice round trip to Gunnersbury, did you get back okay?

Yes thanks the T123, 5 train was 2 mins behind your Uxbridge

I will post all the time etc. laterz....

So, did anyone try:

NHG-EC-Green Park-London Bridge-E&C-Piccadilly Circus-Russell Square-Holborn-Bank-Euston-Tottenham Court Road-Queensway-Bayswater-Paddington (Cir)-run-Paddington (H&C)-Edgware Road (H&C)-Edgware Road (Bak)-Regent's Park-run-Great Portland Street-Aldgate-run-Aldgate East-Sloane Square-Victoria-Vauxhall?

Should be around 2:57 for a slow runner/brisk walker...

You know, I almost did that route! But I decided that the Waterloo and City line would be a lot more fun.

I don't think they did.... my bobby dazzler was...

EC-Picc Circus-E & C-Lon Bridge-Bond St(plan was Queensway run Bayswater but heard lifts were out so stayed on to NHG our starting point!)-Paddington(Bak)-Oxford Circus-Vauxhall-Victoria-Sloane Sq(long wait for train that was Tower Hill terminator )-Aldgate East run Aldgate-Liv St-Holborn-Russell Sq-Leics Sq-Euston-Moorgate(where the driver stopped in wrong place took 20 seconds for doors to open and we missed H & C by 5 seconds )-Paddington H & C......

I think Peter had a route similar at the end with the Edgware Road and GPS runs.

My planned route (which I thought wasn't too bad) was as follows:

NHG to HSK to Bayswater run to Queensway to Liverpool Street to Aldgate run to Aldgate East to Earls Court to Kings Cross St Pancras to Moorgate to Euston to Goodge Street run/bus to Euston Square to Paddington H&C run to Paddington (Bak) to Elephant & Castle to London Bridge to Green Park to Vauxhall.

I however got scuppered very early on, when Queensway station was made exit only due to lift problems. I was told the problem would be sorted out soon, but 20 minutes later I was told the problem would not be fixed and had to abandon back to Bayswater to continue the route via NHG. However luck again wasn't on my side because the Central Line train I was on frm NHG had braking issues so I decided to abort at Bank to start a Bottle.

The Bottle didn't go too well either, I started out on a White City train but at Holborn we were informed it would now be terminating at MARBLE ARCH , this then cost me a perfect Circle line connection at Bayswater (by seconds). A District was just behind it which wasn't the end of the world route wise but the next train I was on, the Piccadilly Line north from Earls Court was taken out of service at Hyde Park Corner and I thought that it just wasn't my night that night so aborted as well.

Big time and lets hope that continues until after the 28th August

I had a pretty good day of it, apart from confusion at High Street Kensington, a Tower Hill train and a slow Hammersmith and City driver...

Notting Hill Gate to Bank
to Euston
to Goodge Street
run
Russell Square to Knightsbridge
to Green Park
to Vauxhall
train
Waterloo to London Bridge
to Elephant and Castle
to Paddington
to High Street Kensington
to Earls Court
to Tower Hill
to Aldgate
run
Aldgate East to Paddington

A delay at Baker Street and Edgware Road gave me a slightly worse-than-expected time of 3:09'06".
