Default Tube station visit record broken

on Fri, 1 Oct 2004, Alistair Bell remarked:
The real trouble comes where you have stations with a whole load of
internal connections and some of the platforms have different names
from the others; the only example in the UK is Bank/Monument, and my
memory of the Guinness rules is that you don't need to visit the
Monument platforms in addition to the Bank platforms. As such, it
doesn't matter whether the platforms you visit are called 42nd St/Port
Authority, Times Square or 42nd St/Times Square -- they're all the
same station and connected inside the barriers.

Oh, and Paris will be done next spring/easter. although Guinness don't
actually recognise this as an official record attempt.

Somone else I know wrote to them, and they came back saying that they were
only interested in London and New York. So once we've done Paris (just for
the hell of it .. ), then it'll be time to head across the pond and do the
NYS! double running tracks .. .24 hour operation .. what more could you
want? :-)


You didn't quite crack the London-Epson record on Thursday night,
though, from what I heard

Rupert


It would be quite an achievement to get from London to Epson,
Kentucky, in any night.
