Sounds a tad extreme to report him for taking a photo of an approaching train! I'm sure I did it on Wednesday, oops!

25 down and no chance? That can be made up usually.
They must be on a very tight schedule!

Re: Andi & Tangy attempt Friday 16th Oct
It was the driver from the train they photographed I have since established....
Thinking of which GWR require photographic evidence so I suppose if your are doing an attempt you should really contact TfL and get permission in advance....

Or just don't use the flash - it's the flash that's the safety issue for drivers, I hear. (Waits to be corrected.)Going Underground wrote:It was the driver from the train they photographed I have since established....

UPDATE 1310HRS
They are at sunny Wimbledon and approx 30 mins down but pressing on for completion....
I have the fully story on the camera/driver incident, young Tangy stepped slightly over the yellow line and the driver crapped himself thinking he was about to have a "one under"

Re: Andi & Tangy attempt Friday 16th Oct
Ahh understandable...I know drivers crap themselves when that happens or think that it is about to happen. I've seen drivers not be able to even step into a cab after a one under.

The boys had a very nice Cockfosters High Barnet in 20 mins and are trying things around different ways and also some "out of the box" thinking going on. To coin Soup Dragon they are "mixing it up like a Mueller corner"

Re: Andi & Tangy attempt Friday 16th Oct
To be honest, one needs to learn how to be surreptitious as a Tube Challenger. I mean, racing yelling down a corridor taking FLASH pictures of everything is bound to attract attention. But after a while, one does get used to being slick and whatsname, so as not to arouse annoyance.
