      British-Aussie Lover I know 😩 I have very few memories of old '02 because I was so very young, but it's funny how experiences change the way you think and see things, the way you react. It's sad to realise that the world was much more better when I was a child because I didn't have the responsibility that all adults do to make the world a better place.

      Cause back then, Widescreen did indeed exist, but not in the form it is today, most households back then still had 4:3 TVs. Only the more wealthier people had Widescreen TV’s.

    Yeah, I suspected that once I'd watched the whole video properly! Totally obsessed with your videos and have always longed to do the challenge, but from the vids and the write-ups on your website, I now realise the complexity and if an expert like yourself struggles regularly, I'm screwed! The strategy, planning and proactivity regarding changing routes when a hitch occurs are on another level, mate. Mad respect, I have no doubt you'll smash the record again soon. Cheers for replying!

    If I'd known about the tube challenge in 2002 I would have been attempting it for the last 18 years. The problem is I only found out about it at the beginning of last year (Jan 2019). And that's despite the fact I've been a big fan of the tube since the 1980s when I was at primary school! Don't know how I didn't know about it during that time.

    • @cameronamoils6915
      @cameronamoils6915 7 лет назад +1

      Ken Young Sorry for the belated reply. I'm not an expert, but I think it has something to do with the type of signalling installed on different parts of the tube that dictates how detailed the information is on countdown timers, meaning that lines with newer signalling (such as the Victoria, Northern, Jubilee and Central Lines) tend to have more detailed info on their countdown timers whereas the subsurface lines have far less. However, this doesn't appear to be a hard and fast rule. For example, near where I live in North London, until very recently, the Piccadilly Line had no information on it's countdown boards apart from the destination of the immediately approaching train, but oddly, as you went further down the line towards the center they had more information, which is weird because I would expect the same line to use the same system. They recently appear to have updated the system at the northern end though and hence now its up the standard it is on the rest of the line. Additionally, on the northern end of the Northern Line upto High Barnet, I can remember from when I was very young (only the early 2000's) that the boards there always had a detailed list of arrival times, so the conclusion to my very long diatribe here is that I'm not really sure, as it seems to vary vastly from line to line.
