You have started a discussion about battersea park and nine elms station being in zone 1 if that happened it would be interesting for zone 1 route wise and record would be reset. the rest is authority!
When did you suddenly become an (even angrier) social justice warrior anyway, Andi?

Why are so many of your posts these days full of anger and bile towards authority and people who you perceive have done you wrong?
When basic freedoms were curtailed for a desease with survival rate of 99 percent thats even if ur positive. The reason that your company are doing these stick ur thing up nose tests they are highly unreliable and only add to back up government stats that are pure lies in the 1st place. I have never said covid isnt a desease purely it is but well overhyped by media and government forces that want to control and stop ur basic freedoms. The goodwill of the people left a long time ago and we all fed up with it.

Dont trust the government as lie after lie dont trust police as they were heavy handed at a protest i saw yet the media portrayed them in good light evidence is there if u open the eyes and even sone of it is in official government scources.

Now i feel sorry for anyone that has lost a loved due to covid but if u had never heard of it through media. You woildnt even know about it.

So I believe that Kennington is now 1&2 as of today? Reset of the Zone One then!

Yes! Had the day off yesterday, so spent the day on the PC trying to adapt my Zone 1 route to incorporate it. So far all my options involve a double back: either at Kennington or Lambeth North. Though I do have a route which starts at Kennington ready for the Zone 1 cup (assuming I'm fit by then).

Hopefully we'll have chance to set some records before the other stations are added in September.

I assume that's the first reset of the record since 1999 when Southwark opened...

They'll have some trouble putting those stations on the map, though! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGliq3eJZPs

As Kennington is now a boundary zone 1/2 station this does mean the Zone 1 Challenge and leaderboard are now reset.

Awaits a flurry of emails with new attempts/records....

If anyone had ever visited Kennington on a zone 1 challenge (maybe to get to Vauxhall via Stockwell), then they could inadvertently be the record holders for the new configuration!

Only times I can think that someone has gone outside of zone 1 on a zone 1 challenge is going to Kensington Olympia because that was the first train out of Earl's court, and Richie G who went to whitechapel and down the Overground to Canada water from the starting station of aldgate east!

I can only see 1 way out of not doubling back and I can’t see it being quicker than doubling back

Ditto, but I do have a black indelible marker pen. That'll work for Kennington, not sure about the extension to Battersea Power Station. :roll:

I haven't spent a lot of time trying to update my Z1 route. Current plan is to just tack on the Northern line extension to the end of it. Would normally finish at Vauxhall, so from there head to Battersea Power Station and get Northern line to Kennington and finish there instead. I popped down there yesterday evening, and even with wearing the air boot, it only took 10 minutes to interchange from Vauxhall to BPS.

Once the timetable increases to 10 or 12 trains an hour next year, then I think the doubleback would be quicker instead.

I attempted the South of the River challenge on Tuesday, using the bus to get from BPSS to Vauxhall. I was very lucky in two respects: There was a [check front of train]-bound train waiting at Kennington when I arrived on the adjacent platform, and there was a bus already at the stop at BPSS when I arrived there. If I'd had to wait a long time for a bus, doubling back might have been quicker. But there are ~20 buses an hour serving that stop, so the NLE would have to massively increase service frequency for the bus not to be the best bet.
