Re: I wanna do a full network
But then you haven't tidied up the rest of the route - doing those bits of the Circle Line now means when you head west from Tottenham Court Road you only need to go out to White City and then straight back in to Notting Hill Gate...FelixJ20000 wrote:I've run the numbers on that and it connects up great!

Re: I wanna do a full network
The run to Rayner's isn't more than a fairly easy hill, although if you're less of a fast runner then an H9 bus is good.
I agree about the timing on the bus transfer
Happy to have a look if you want to send me the route
The WR route doesn't have anything miraculous in it - there are "tricks" you pick up from solid research, but the biggest component was a lot of exploring the options and trial and error

Re: RE: Re: I wanna do a full network
I tried the North Harrow run but because I only have a 1 min 30 interchange at HotH then I actually end up getting the same train with the bus and so I'll stick to going via HothHIain wrote:The run to Rayner's isn't more than a fairly easy hill, although if you're less of a fast runner then an H9 bus is good.

Re: I wanna do a full network
Yeah I think that's often overlooked. You can get a train up with the bus/run but otherwise you're potentially wasting energy for nothing. The West Harrow run is worth a look too

Re: RE: Re: I wanna do a full network
I also ran the numbers on this and it would mean I miss my c2c connection at upminster, the doubleback at Tower Hill later works out ok for me in the end. Someone said that I can't do Bank in 75 seconds, I'm going to try tomorrow because I've been able to do it before (the trick is to go via the Northern Platforms and take the staircases between the escalators, because they're usually empty and I can do them really quickly. Another boon of being young: I can essentially slide down the metal handrails of the stairs with my arms). Maybe I'll get video proof.The Orange One wrote: Liverpool Street area - if you're on a Circle, just go all the way to Tower Hill then jump on a District, saves you the doubleback later and the run, though admittedly it's a very very easy run.

Re: RE: Re: I wanna do a full network
Assuming the run would be done in 5 minutes (0.7 miles, which is pushing it) the next train is again my HotH connection, so it wouldn't be a worthwhile runIain wrote:Yeah I think that's often overlooked.

Exactly, so I think the current state of the spread (the middle column only) is what I'll move on with unless anyone has any more ideas:Iain wrote:That's a fairly fast run, too

Re: I wanna do a full network
hmm that's exact same distance for ickenham to west ruislip which u have given only 5m 45s you might want to look at another alternative.

Re: I wanna do a full network
if u read Geoff and Neil world record they clearly state that they had trouble running in 5mins and that's was end of the day when it was all or nothing for them.

Re: RE: Re: I wanna do a full network
it depends on your running time I guess but there is an alternative for you if u reverse your route and prepare to run or walk to rayners. I predict a 07.58 rayners lane train to ealing common then train to ealing Broadway then central to east Acton west ruislip run ickenham in more time than 5.45mins uxbridge 09.07.30 09.09.0 out same time as train that u have into Preston rdFelixJ20000 wrote:Damn ok well hopefully the 45 seconds makes the difference!dstock17 wrote:if u read Geoff and Neil world record they clearly state that they had trouble running in 5mins and that's was end of the day when it was all or nothing for them.
