How many modes of transport can you use in 4 hours? As many points as possible.
Standard point scoring system:
1 point for every LU line (maximum of 11)
1 point for using the DLR
1 point for each LO (maximum of 6 - one for each line type)
1 point for TfL Rail/Crossrail
1 point for each Tramlink (maximum of 2 because it's not difficult to do many Tramlink lines)
1 point for the cable car
1 point for every NR TOC (including Heathrow Express)
0.1 points for each bus route
Bonus points:
1 point for using National Express Coaches
1 point for every distinct Riverboat service (as shown on map)
1 point for each place you exit the TfL fares boundary (e.g. Watford Junction, Gatwick Airport). Two exceptions: the Southeastern High Speed service and Heathrow Express/Connect services 10 points for using the Eurostar because it's just silly to do that
10 points for a flight (on commercial aircraft, NOT the Emirates Air Line even though they are called flights) for the same reason
Have fun!

18 points, but I can't help thinking there's a better way...
And yes, RJSRDG they do. Am editing the list now.

Well, given the tube can be polished off in less than an hour...
I'm not sure. This is probably the kind of challenge it's better just to go and try.

Yes, I might try it next time I'm in London. If I get to CX and find there is time left, I'd carry on to make it 19 points by changing at Picc Circus on to the Picc. I'd then go down to Ear's Court, run/DISTRICT to West Brompton, then Overground to Willesden Junction (20pts). I would go up to Watford Junction (22pts), and (if it is open by the time I do it) get the Met (23pts)
