Prior to the 16:23 being set every full network I attempted was scheduled inside the current GWR.... As I am sure would have been the case for dozens and dozens of attempts by others.... It's the nature of the beast .....
What 16:23 record?

I think it's 17 or 18 Glen, I will check my books at home......

I would have done a lot more had the GWR time not come down so much and have pretty much reduced the attempts to charity or Tube Olympics now.... I haven't bothered with all the GWR criteria such as witness statements and photos etc for a couple of years now....

Let me guess - that comment is supposed to be in a different thread?

I think we need a new league table. "Times i would have had", and "Records I would have had", had the system all run perfectly ...

I claim three world records. Anyone want to raise that? :lol:
