I've always thought that words with numbers at the beginning are stupid. How does one pronounce "5ive", anyway? I've always mentally thought of it as five-ive. Are you trying to make yourselves seem like the 1997-2001 boy band of the same name, famous for songs like "Slam Dunk Da Funk", "If Ya Gettin' Down" and, horribly, "We Will Rock You"? And what's with the current trend for almost every full-network-attempting team to come up with a silly nickname for themselves anyway?

End of rant. Good luck...

Good Luck, will be awaiting Live updates.

The "Fantastic 5ive" are underway, I waved goodbye to Andi & Co just shortly after 05:28 this morning.

Update: 07:31

At Harrow & Wealdstone now. Andi and co are 8 mins down on their time. They're going to get the same train out and go down to Elephant and Castle and then up to Mill Hill East. I told them to " Keep on Movin' "

The story of the monring so far;

Departure Amersham 05 28 38
Made Moor Park with seconds to spare due Watford train being early
Delay of 2 - 3 mins leaving Watford due to batterry problem with door
Due Watford delay they didn't make planned connection on 1st run of the day

UPDATE 0900

The team are at Finchley Central and have a 6 minute wait for MHE and are a "few minutes down" Andi has said that it is good running weather, I guess todays temperature is just about perfect although may well warm up later in the day....

UPDATE 10:15


Make of this message what you will "Arnos Grove team members missing"

10:15 Update......
Andi got to Cockfosters and could have made the 09:54 having run from New Barnet, the others opted for the 307 and Andi had to let three trains go before one other team member arrived. The other three are now on the train behind playing catch up!

Update: 11:37

Andi is above ground now at Leyton, six mins ahead of the train train needed so they've decided to have a comfort break. Going to head towards Woodford via Hainault. All is well now as the team is together again.

Good luck, the nearest toilet is in the library is they let you use it a good 2/3 mins for the station, the nearest public toilet is down towards the footie ground by the park and there are no pubs very near...

Think he meant like a rest sort of break because the train they need was six minutes behind the one they were on. I heard it go in the background as I was on the phone

There is a toilet on the platform i think, kev. Andi normally even schedules this stop and even has a door position for it, as of course you would normally get off at Leytonstone.

UPDATE 12:40

They will be going underground again shortly and are somehow on schedule....

UPDATE 13:50

They have re-surfaced and are still on schedule
