Guinness rules (was: Breaking the tube record using IT)
On the times that I've done it, I haven't always been able to get the train
numbers, but you'd think that GWR would be slightly lenient and if you has a train number that proved you went from A to B, missed out the one from B to C, and then has one from C to D, then it's hardly likely that you're going to get accused of not getting a train between B & C ! Don't forget you also get to submit photos, video recordings, etc.. materal as well which supports your claim. I think there's something in the rules which just says "You must provide enough evidence..". i.e. enough to satisfy Guinness. If you knew someone 'in the know' though, surely there's a way to determine a trains number on the day from the individual carriage number which you can see inside each car? Each set gets a new number each day (and can change throughout the day, I'm led to believe..), but this must also be recorded somewhere by LU I would have thought, so you could go back and find out that way. Shepherd's Bush .. two seperate stations/entrances, ditto Hammersmith and Edgware Road. I think Paddington is included in that because the platforms aren't linked by an LU specific tunnel/corridor or something. Whatever, it's in the rules.. and it's more likely that you'd have a route (because of the H&C) that does them both then one that doesn't! Geoff. www.geofftech.co.uk/tubechallenge/ "Roland Perry" wrote in message ... In article , Geoff Marshall writes See my webpages at www.geofftech.co.uk/tubechallenge/ A couple of quick questions. How easy is it in practice to get each train's number from the front? What happens when you arrive on the platform and the front of the train in into the tunnel? Is your list of "dual" stations still definitive? 2. Stations which are geographically separate and not linked but which have the same name must each be visited. This applies to Shepherds Bush, Edgware Road, Paddington and Hammersmith. [All on the Hammersmith & City line!] There was some recent discussion of Paddington, for example. What is it about Paddington that makes it "more separate" than Kings Cross? -- Roland Perry |
