New idea for a challenge!

Post by tubeguru »

Hey everyone, I was just thinking of a great new challenge we could do.

What you have to do is try to visit all the tube stations in the fastest time possible. There are 270 tube stations to visit, and you can do them in any order - the number of routes are limitless! Maybe someone should contact Guinness World Records, and ask them if they'd consider recognising this one.

What do you all think??!?!!?!?!!!!! :roll:

That's far too radical Neil. You haven't included random or arbitrary DLR or London Overground stations for a start. Or randomly devised some scoring system. Or tried to tie the challenge to a traditional board game or similar. I'm with scrxisi - it'll never catch on.

And, I ask, what's wrong with people sharing ideas which others might get enjoyment from?

Nothing at all. I'm just taking the piss in a light-hearted way. The responses tend to suggest that people see it that way too.

Well, that's fine then. I have to say your idea isn't very original though. I already completed it before you invented it.

I completed it before you were out of nappies*.

* - assuming you still wore nappies at the age of ten.

Well, that's at least one day without a mishap. You're doing well bro', keep in there. Fingers crossed (or legs crossed) you'll be potty-trained by this time next month...

Not sure. Technically, it should be about discussing full network challenges, but I'm easy. Wetting your nappy is on-topic enough for me.

I have a great idea for a challenge pick nice station outside like KEW GARDENS enter pub at 11am or 12am depending on opening hours order beer.

Get out a WTT timetable pick spot by window with binoculars methodically see if each train number matches up the timings it is suppossed to arrive get madly drunk until 11pm leave and go home corralate data into Hopeful travellers statistics.
