Joy 54 - GWR attempt live updates
OK early doors Steven had a 3 minute wait at Moor Park which meant that he missed the train out of Watford and was still 10 mins down at H & W......
However a couple of rather nifty bus connections has clawed that time back and he is currently heading upto Edgware and is bang on schedule for a 2304hrs finish at T5.......

Is he alone doing this attempt or are they more team members.?At least the network seems to be holding up pretty well for him.

Re: Joy 54 - GWR attempt live updates
For a bus?
I would have been tempted to start going on foot to the next bus stop, and then the one after, etc etc. It's only a mile and would take about eleven minutes at a light jogging pace.

UPDATE 20:50
****************
Just spook to GU who's waiting at Finchley Central, while Steven gets Mill Hill East out the way.
As Steven's train was pulling into Finchley Central the Mill Hill East Shuttle was just pulling out! I belive Steven & Tangy have gone out to look for a Bus to Mill Hill.
Now 20mins down on his schedule.

LIVE UPDATE 23:08
Steven has departed Acton Town at 23:05 (think this is the 23:02 running 3 minutes late).
Should arrive at Heathrow T4 at 23:28, and with the wait get to T123 at 23:40.
So in theory he will make the 23:41 arriving T5 at 23:44.
This will give a time of 18h16m..... just 1 minute outside GWR target
