ZONE 1 DAY 2013

[Sam]

Well you can rule me out, I am working so may well be transporting some of you lot between Vauxhall and Waterloo!!

i did think u were working i keep ur odds just in case last minute strike though!

Even if I was off I would be busy washing my hair that day...

Myles is fine, just a sprained ankle. Might have a bloke called Mark who contacted me on twitter taking part.

I assume that Edgware Road (Bak) still has to be done on Zone 1, but as a pass through on the Bakerloo Line?

Yes, that is what we have done in the past when stations like Queensway and Blackfriars were closed.

[Iain]

Andi said last night that Edgware Road (Bak) is open for incoming passengers - I can't vouch for the correctness but might be worth checking if that's part of your planned route

[Sam]

Taken from the TfL website "Saturday 25 May until late December, closed due to lift maintenance work. Edgware Road (Circle) is the nearest alternative station"

Also, the new tube map says it is closed http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/ ... be-map.gif

[tubeguru]

If the lift is out of action, the station won't be used for people coming in OR out.

make them walk up the stairs thats what i say get some exercise! too many pork pies

[tubeguru]

Which is precisely why the station is closed when the lifts are being replaced ...

[greatkingrat]

These were the lifts that once took me and Kevin up to the ticket hall, where the doors didn't open and took us straight back down again!

My left leg is in no fit state for running between stations at the moment (even walking is sometimes a challenge...), but as far as things stand, my diary is clear on 31st May.

No promises yet, but I may be able to pop up to town to see y'all off, and meet at the pub afterwards. But I wouldn't be able to take part in the challenge itself.

Watch this space!

If you hobble round you might still beat Richie 'Zone 2' Graham!

glen 3-1 (current zone 1 record holder new breed of tube challenger will record holder use the route he used though?)

Bit hard to do the same route if Tottenham Court Road doesn't come out of the bag!

[palkanetoijala31]

Doesnt mean u cant use it and adapt to the starting station chosen i adapted 2009 winning route to 2012 for example just differant starting station.but same basic interchanges

Only works with a circular route!

[palkanetoijala31]

rubbish any route can be adapted might not be as fast as the optimum?
