Mileage Competition 2008

[Gizmogle]

Yes, if you do so wish, dlr, trams and tubes count. I don't count them, but you can if you want.

 

[466.networkers]

Can 140 miles be added onto my total please? Ta very muchly
Off to Wembely tomorrow, need to work out how many miles that is!

 

[Gizmogle]

Oh, also, if you want your mileage updating, it'd be great if you could say what your current mileage is, rather than to add however many miles. As mods have been updating this too, it could get a little confusing. Only one person has done this so far, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Cheeeeers

Yes, if you do so wish, dlr, trams and tubes count. I don't count them, but you can if you want.

in that case, add 60 miles to mine. I've been the whole length of NET quite a few times in 2008, but not sure of my mileage when not going the whole length, so I'll play it safe.

 

[Gizmogle]

Read the damn post above!!!!

 

[466.networkers]

22. 466.networkers --- 1,474 miles

Can someone add 140 to my total please? Thanks.

 

[1D53]

Would it not be a lot easier just to give the new figure..... lazy gits....

 

[Gizmogle]

I'm not going to increase anyone's mileage unless they give me the figures.

Again, if you don't it could cause confusion between me and Jordy and figures would become inaccurate.


EDIT: My mileage is now at 8,313.

 

[466.networkers]

Sorry.
My new mileage to yesterday (9/5) is 1,614. Will update it Sunday after Wembley.

 

[Gizmogle]

Thank you. Was that so hard?

 

[class 313]

Thank you. Was that so hard?

Most probably

But so you don't get confused, put the date next the mileage, so you know when it was last updated. Then people can just state the latest miles they have done to be added up.

 

[Gizmogle]

I could...

But still, I'm not adding up over 20 people's mileage everytime they go out! Especially when they should know it (and probably do) themselves.

 

[voyagerdude220]

But you didn't have to be so pedantic about it, Gizmogle :roll:

 

[Gizmogle]

Would you add up everyone's mileage and then constantly update it?

I can be pedantic if I wish. It's not hard for you all to just give me your final figures. Especially after I clearly mentioned.

 

[me123]

Seeing as your online, Gizzy, I've got another whopping 20 miles or so under my belt, so could you update it to 1372 please? (Well, when your down at 24/26, every little helps )

 

[djw1981]

But you didn't have to be so pedantic about it, Gizmogle :roll:

You don't have to moan about it.

It is a voluntary 'competition' and one of the organiser's rules is that you must do your own maths. So if you want to be in the competition, you have to abide by the rules.


What is the competition prize, a visit from Gizmogle, or a tour of britain by Pacer?

 

[voyagerdude220]

a visit from Gizmogle

I hope not. If so, I'm out! :razz:

 

[Techniquest]

Let's get me somewhere further up the table...Not happy with being 9th!

As of Friday afternoon at 1329, my mileage stood at 5,365.5.

The mileage from Trowbridge to Minehead and back (via Bristol) from yesterday is still to be added up, when I get it worked out.

 

[1D53]

4974½

 

[voyagerdude220]

Please update my mileage to 4263, as I've done at least 5 miles on the Metrolink, in reality i've done alot more, but to keep things as accurate as possible, i'll just call it + 5.

 

[33056]

Do they move the office every day then?

No, since the advent of the latest stupid timetable on the WCML there are no direct trains between my station and Harrow & Wealdstone most of the time, so I have to leave earlier and either change at Watford or go into Euston and back out.

The exact route depends on;
1) What shift I am on
2) Who I am relieving
3) What time I get relieved
4) What state the train service is in (quite frequently a mess at the moment)

 

[Aureol]

I hope not. If so, I'm out! :razz:

Awhh poor Gizzy.
She aint that bad

Mileage as of last night: 2784 miles and 3 chains

 

[Gizmogle]

You should all stop being so mean to me!

 

[1D53]

I know! Mean b*stards

 

[87015]

4821.22 for me now, 110 more rat miles at the Moors

 

[1D53]

I missed the rat on Friday - managed to score everything else

 

[87015]

Missed out - in fine form. 1000 ex Pickering was a superb thrash :razz:

 

[Gizmogle]

Hmmm....after speaking to some other members, I've decided that preserved miles don't count. Most of us aren't counting them, and quite a few members would have a huge advantage as they spend alot of time helping out at preserved railways.

 

[Aureol]

Suckup

You should all stop being so mean to me!

I'm neverever mean to you. I love you, you know that, oh Master.

I bet

Didnt get into Pickering till gone 1030 though thanks to the stupid damn bus times. Managed to score the Western, both Deltics, the Tractor and the Peak though

Readjust mine to 4890¼ then.
