That'll be Circle line trains being filtered in in front of your train at Gloucester Road then.dudey wrote:you'd think after that wait at the station it would be a clean run up. but oh no, the stop-start journey just to HSK took over 5 minutes.

Well done!
I think Earl's Court is a decent starting station. However, I'd prefer to start out on the Piccadilly from there...
My favourite route from EC would include an "almost complete Circle journey" (i.e. Bayswater - Aldgate - Aldgate East - Paddington (H&C)). Starkey, how is that for an LBR (Lazy Boy Route)?

the reason i picked earls court is because i thought that eliminating the need for a change there would pick me up a bundle of time, i just got unlucky like tubeguru says that they obviously had to clear the platform despite there being circle line traffic blocking up the line. wouldn't happen too often i don't think. i'd still highly recommend it for a start to any serious Z1 though. i waited on the Eastbound platform for about 10 minutes for my train and in that time only 2 Upminster bound trains actually came through. wouldn't fancy that wait while the clock is running.Going Underground wrote:Nice one Dudey, that is a heck of a good time from a tricky starting station......

today i thought i'd have another crack at zone 1 with a tweaked route from the 2hr53 one i did last month.
what i want to know is, is there a record for the earliest zone 1 abandonment?!
0 stations, 0hrs0mins0secs. well i suppose you could say 1 station as i did visit one before swiftly turning away.....
