The All lines challenge
The All lines challenge
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

Re: The All lines challenge
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.yayrabies wrote: Used Jack Welsby's route.

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.
