They're already done similar with LEJOG
The roads change and I think they have a new finish because you can no longer ride all the way to the hotel wall or something at the top.
The routes are basically along motorways now though so without follow vehicles, training for them is quite a stressful exercise. With Mike's death weighing on my mind, personally, I'm even less inclined to do this kind of thing again.

I believe the LEJOG route has been changed several times over the years.

I was a bit nervy on my clubs first evening 10 of the year last night. Dual carriageway course and lots of close passes from vehicles travelling at high speed. Probably an easter hols thing I guess, more traffic in the evening than during a working week.
Anyway, would hate to do ride on those kind of roads for any distance.

With the best will in the world, you're not going to get rolling road closures through city centres. Those records are from a different era and don't really have too much meaning now.
The way forward would be to start again. Pick start/finish points just outside of city centres eg Brum - London, start Moseley (Brum), finish Barnet (London). Drum up support from Time Trialists and Ultracyclists, follow the template set up by TCR and IPWR
