New FNC attempt

Post by nick468 »

Hi there,

I'm planning a full network challenge on Friday, July 22. I've worked out a route - nothing too onerous, it's just to get on the board with the new station openings, as i guess the FNC has been reset with the NLE.

Just wondering if anyone has tried a FNC post-Covid, and whether there are any issues which came up to look out for?

I believe one person managed a time of 20 hours something. To my knowledge, nothing has changed apart from gaining two new stations. There might be delays due to a shortage of drivers (this was an issue on a Random 15 earlier this year), but you can't plan for that.

Whatever happens, good luck with your attempt and I hope you can tell us all about.

I have a route worked out, but I'm not prepared to attempt it until the weather settles down. (And I'd rather have another recce day first just in case I've forgotten station layouts and OSIs in the last three years...)

I did one earlier in the year. The only problem, and is wasn't really a problem, was the space between tubes leaving the Battersea, other than that everything went fine. Can't remember the exact time without digging out the notepad I recorded it all in, think it was somewhere around 18 hours.

How did you visit Heathrow Terminal 4 if this was done earlier in the year?

I didn’t do T4. I did the rest of the route as planned. When I try the route again now T4 has opened all I’ll do is on the way down to finish I’d just need to tick off T4 before I get to T5.
