There are a number of issues with the data in this article such as

  • Was Jenkins' record a class A or class B attempt?
  • The date of Trafford & Trafford's record
  • Whether Altman et al. completed the network
  • The number of stations open on 30th July 1986 (272 or 273?)
  • The number of stations open on March 16th 2000 (272 or 275?)

... and probably others.

Possibly back issues of what used to be called the Guiness Book of Records might also be a valuable source.

... and did the Browns & Starkey visit Shoreditch by replacement bus - in which case their total should be 275 stations? I'm pretty sure they did, as Guiness would not have ratified the record otherwise.
