Has anyone established a record for visiting (actually getting on and off at) all the request halts ?
I've watched a few videos and find them entertaining. There's some quirky things covered such as the luggage mover. Some different camera work too, plus random interviews on the network.
I still think it would be good to try and complete the aim in a quick time, but I understand that wasn't their objective.
In addition to their stations map/ticklist at www.allthestations.co.uk, there's a few of us on twitter collecting which diagrams and units they travel on from the (sometimes limited) information they're posting.
So far we've been lucky enough to pick up missed TOPS numbers later in the day at London, but suspect our luck will soon run out as they start to get to busier sections of the network. If anyone is able to help with filling in the missed information I'd be interested to hear from you. We're also happy to give edit access to the sheet for anyone who'd like to contribute.

the team will have an hour wait at Boston

They said that it will take approximately 12 weeks.Is there a projected completion date or are they on a time limit? I cant find anything in the FAQs
If they have below 10,000 views monetisation will no longer work. Having said that, I think you're right as they're getting way over 10,000 on each video - let alone the channel itself - aren't they?
Peter, it is only the *channel* that requires 10,000 views to ensure that the channel can be have monetisation turned on.

by "getting on and off" would having the train stop, jump off, take a photo on the platform and jump back on count for you in this, or do you mean separate trains? Because the latter would be punishing and often require taxis!
Which is what I said isn't it?

I think I have been a bit sniffy about this. It is totally bonkers and I don't really understand the purpose but good luck to them!
My own criteria would include getting off exploring the local area and having a pint in a local hostelry but understand the constraints of such criteria when applied to British Steel Redcar for instance.
It should really be starting or finishing a journey at the station.
I only say I have been somewhere if I've actually gotten off (or on) a train there and as you say if you the guard would probably get fed up to the point of either ignoring your requests to stop or leaving you behind at one of them.
The original kickstarter was for 2 videos per week, when they achieved that they stretched their goal to 3 then 4, not making it to 5. So they've only ever promised to do 4 videos a week. This doesn't include anything extra that Geoff's putting on his own channel which I would recommend subscribing to.It is apparent that they didn't raise enough for a video every day. So not only does each station not appear, neither does each day. Quite limited info from their Twitter feed too.
How many stations a day were you thinking of?
Are they married? Odds for Geoff proposing at the last station?
Today they have given Shippea Hill more passengers in one day than happened at all last year....
Although how many passengers tipped out last December for those free mince pies?
And how many of those passengers would actually buy tickets from Shippea Hill rather than being on Anglia Plus (or other) rovers? [at least I made my visit count in the stats with a Lakenheath - Shippea single]
