Oh I've seen much more daft things than that being done! Well done to
them though, can't say it's something I'd ever want to do. I would
however want to visit one or two of the disused stations but LTM have
not done any visits since 2000.

Why? It's exercise... like ice-skating, but a lot more physically demanding
and with more varied scenery.

Anyway, respect to the guy - to beat it is something, but to beat it by 43
minutes! Wow.

Just to correct you he did not beat it by 43 minutes he beat my record
by 12 minutes, Evening Standard were given the wrong info so every one
else gave the wrong info as well

Steven, you told us on 3rd March that you were waiting to hear from
Guinness about your claimed record. Did they confirm it?

I don't know when the last record was set but perhaps the epping-ongar section
was still open then?
