Wow, year old bump
I'm thinking about taking a crack at this myself and setting the inaugural time soon.

I did Wimbledon to Elmer's End (with one change) as part of the London Boroughs challenge.
I also admit to doing Wimbledon to Merton Park while trying to reach Clapham South during the Random 15 on Saturday

Re: Croydon Tramlink!
Presumably it's a competitive Wimbledon-Morden option?There's an outside chance I'll be taking it tomorrow.

I'll be using it to link up with the recently reopened East London Line, which must be completed as part of a Full Network Challenge according to the ruleset that Guinness emailed me yesterday.

Re: Croydon Tramlink!
My completion for this was very good... Even if I say so myself! But it was a mix of planning, training and luck! But maybe I am secretly Hugo's twin?
