Isn't that the same video? Anyway, that doesn't sound too unlikely though maybe not quite the same!

Seeing as I don't live in London this is not a normal day. A normal day is saying the word bastard **** and many other swear words over and over.

Well, yes; maybe a normal tube challenge in the life of Andi.

It is the same video, just edited time point to highlight the jump.

Tube challenging would definitely be more fun (not that it's not fun already) if it was possible to do that on the escalators! (Though I know of at least one stationwith a staircase where it may be possible to do it on the bannisters!)

A bit silly though, isn't it?

I don't know - on one of my practice runs a queue to get on the escalators at Walthamstow Central caused me to miss a Victoria Line train, which meant I hit a gap in Piccadilly Line services, missed the 384 I was aiming for at Cockfosters which meant I had a longer run to do to High Barnet, missed the MHE and by then was too far behind to make the last Olympia. For want of a nail, etc

There's always alighting from the GOBLIN at Leytonstone High Road, running a bit towards Walthamstow along the tracks and jumping off the bridge onto a Central Line train...

I seem to remember having had this conversation with members of the forum, but I've forgotten whether it happened online or at one of the events.

That is very dangerous and well if you didn't get your timing correct you would probably die! It was originally in a film and so it would work wouldn't it?

Well, yes. You'd probably die even if you did, unless you were James Bond mid-chase or the like. It's a fun idea though...
