In other words, I'm planning to visit all the remaining stations on the standard tube map that I've not yet been to. That's Morden, KenO and the Metropolitan line stations in the far North West (beyond Moor Park) to complete the Underground, plus about half of the Overground stations.

In the unlikely event that I bump into any of you, I will cheer you on and may ride along with you for a short while (depending on where you're going at the time).
yeah another tube challenger out there london is going to be invaded.

Yeah, that's kind of bordering on TMI, if I'm honest.

Why not just check live departures for Kensington Olympia much quicker. Even from cornwall I can tell you train 151 has just left heading for earls court.

TfL appears to not be displaying any tubes to Olympia at the moment for Thursday on the website? Just having a look now and all it is saying is change at West Brompton.

Hi folks,

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to join all you FARTers (oh stop it!) on Thursday. Other things getting in the way etc, so I'm doing it in a few hours time - Wednesday! :shock:

I've got a plan of action, but Sod's Law dictates that this will go by the wayside at some point but fingers, toes, and other bits crossed, I'll survive it. If only the network plays fair too!

Anyway, I wish you all the very best of luck for Thursday. If I live through tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you all. :)

BTW, will people be tweeting ? I noticed there's a #tubechallenge hashtag
