Re: The Journey
You have a search for this bus stop. You look everywhere. Finally, deciding it's too much hassle trying to find it, you ride the 135 from bus stop WK up to Moorfields Eye Hospital. Because perhaps it's your eyes.

Re: The Journey
It's now Saturday night and after you get off at Drayton Park, you notice it's the North London derby at the Emirates Stadium. You follow all the travelling Spurs fans to the Emirates and manage to get in. You stand with the away fans, and the match begins. Half an hour later, you see me standing with TC95 and the Arsenal fans, I notice you and knock you out after throwing me off that train on the Random 15. (inception moment) You wake up in Saint Ann's hospital in a small room, it's 4.30am and BBC News 24 is on with the main story:
'Arsenal fan arrested in North London derby, given 90 days in prison.'
'Arsenal fan arrested in North London derby, given 90 days in prison.'

Re: The Journey
It turns out to be a 10-year-old boy (a diehard Arsenal fan I met on the train up to Wembley Stadium the other day). You leave the hospital, run down St Ann's Road to Seven Sisters Road and board the last N279 bus of the night to Waltham Cross.

Re: The Journey
The news of you being attacked at the Emirates Stadium by this 10 year old fan sends shockwaves through the Tube Challenge world, after getting off the N279 armed with your 'Get well soon' card signed by all of us, you groggily find your way to the station and hop on the 06.07 to Hertford East. Upon arrival on Platform 2 you grab a mocha from the café in the station.

Re: The Journey
After finishing your mocha, you get back on the train and head one stop south/east to Ware, where you disembark onto the single platform.

Re: The Journey
You then board the 09:39 train from Bishops Stortford to London Liverpool Street to test a new type of tube challenge. Your train carries the headcode 1B34

Re: The Journey
Shaking your head at the inaccuracies of Abellio Greater Anglia, you find a number 133, which you ride as far as Brixton, as your untested challenge is this one:

Re: The Journey
I knock off the first three 'X's by simply heading north on the Victoria line to Oxford Circus. I take a westbound West Ruislip Central line service to West Ruislip to put me near Uxbridge. You pause in the centre of the 'village' while you work out the quickest route from Uxbridge to Croxley

Re: The Journey
You speed down to Ickenham on the rare beastie U10. Coming into Uxbridge, you find the expensive beastie 724 to Rickmansworth.

Re: The Journey
All that money changing hands has made you hungry. You take some time out from the 5 X's challenge and walk over to Waitrose to buy some lunch. You eat you lunch in the car park overlooking the Metropolitan line where you see Sarah Siddons heading east towards Moor Park with Met Jubilee Carriage 353 and Metropolitan Class E Locomotive No. 1 bringing up the rear

Re: The Journey
As it is probably heading around the Watford North Curve (towards Croxley), when it is coming down the track, you run into Rickmansworth station as it passes by, and execute a perfect running jump onto the smokebox of Metropolitan Class E Locomotive No. 1. A ticket officer waves his fist at you.

Re: The Journey
Taking in the fresh air for a change, you opt to ride on top all the way to Watford. The driver clocks on that you're not actually seated, so he tells you to get down. You then decide to walk to Watford Junction.
