London Overground All Lines Attempt

[Oggm]

Just this morning I had my second attempt and first completion of the LO All lines challenge (viewtopic.php?t=3870).

Starting at Emerson Park, and finishing at South Hampstead; I completed in a time of 01:34.23 on 03/01/2025

The challenge is strongly dependant on maximising the timetable, although I had a few hairy changes planned in; which worked. I found that sprinting in the cold air is quite painful indeed, and irritates the lungs quite a bit in the transition between the warm train and the cold outside. I probably could have saved time in changes if the surfaces weren't so slippery; but I'm not sure it impacted my final time. A few nicely linning up delayed trains could have definitely saved me 15 minuites, by letting me take the earlier Lioness line train. But after that, it's just waiting for a timetable change to decreace the time by any more than a few seconds.

My first attempt was stalled to a standstill and I eventually bailed-out at Wlathamstow Queen's Road after the Suffering Suffragette line decided it had enough of doing what it was meant to do.
