The All lines challenge

yayrabies · Post by **yayrabies** » 03 Feb 2005, 19:33

I'm just a kid (13) and I can't believe how many people laughed at me when I asked them if they were intrested in any tube challenges. (What did Steven Karahan did?)

Er...Anyway, back to what I was saying the All lines challenge.
I've done it in 1 hour 10 minutes and 4 seconds. Wasn't as hard as most tube challenges are. Used Jack Welsby's route. Wasn't HIS bad planning. Just cruddy DLR. (Bank to Shadwell).Took 10 minutes as I had missed a train. (Could still feel the wind from it). Then the train wouldn't leave Bank for another 1 and a half minutes. This dosen't sound bad but when I was 7 minutes ahead of schedule. It was bad. (And the Circle was unbelievably slow).

Anymore stories from all lines.

I don't usually tell people I know about my attempts. BTW can you please not use my name on the forum, I can just about get away with the main site mention, but people could see wat I'm saying on here etc. Thanks

You should have used the Stephen Knight route. (Shameless plug!) As Geoff and Neil found when they attempted it and broke the record by about 5mins, it removes most of the luck element that this challenge can present.

joy54 - could I please draw your attention to Rule 9 in the admin section regarding graphical signatures?

joy54 · Post by **joy54** » 04 Feb 2005, 00:55

Where can I find the rules?

Although I've never actually done this one (but I have a route or two), I think the alphabet challenge is the most interesting. You get to see more of the tube and not just the bits underground.

After all, you have to go to Ickenham, scene of many an uphill run

ah.. thing is, running on that challenge is a bit of a waste of time no matter what it is, specially at ickenham - look at the names on the central line

i like the circle line challenge... dunno why, i just do. probably cos it was the first one i ever did. even though it was disasterous.

I love the Alphabet challenge. It's intresting, more freedom to choose a route.

what?! more freedom to choose a route? please explain!

surely when you're kinda stuck with hovering in the top left corner if you want a good time (because of ickenham), i don't think there's much freedom there if you really think about it

I'm 13 too, but anyway, I've tried it too. Just for fun, not for the recod.

The challenge is to go on all tube lines, so why bother with the DLR?

Think I locked onto a good route and I'm hoping to go for it on Monday.

Thank you very much.

Done a lot of research etc. but haven't done enough to know how to change from Met Line to Northern Line at Moorgate!

Oh, and do I have to do what was the East London Line still?
