The sporting list would surely need Queens Park in there too?

I'm sure that Borough thing has been thought of previously, but I may be getting mixed up with a Diamond Geezer post!

I think the borough challenge has been thought of before. As it started an argument about which borough certain stations are in! Like Old Street being right on the border of Hackney and Islington etc!

The record is 6h29m, although that is for all boroughs, using any of Tube / NR / DLR / Trams as desired.

I seem to recall Calling All Stations doing this before Christmas one year and I think the fastest time from KXSP was 3 hours 18, would be interesting to try and beat that though!!

I would exclude the dangle due not covered on normal travelcard cost - otherwise interesting - so one visit needed on each line yeah?The Raven wrote: ↑06 May 2020, 14:26 Crazy Alternative Challenge #2

I myself have had basically the same idea. A simple idea but lots of pottential for different routes and solitions to tricky bits. If fact, I think I even came up with a route, although no idea how feasible it it.The Raven wrote: ↑06 May 2020, 14:26 Crazy Alternative Challenge #2

Based on the IKEA challenge, how about something similar using the London airports:
Heathrow
Gatwick
Luton
Stansted
Southend
City
Plus bonus points for additional challenges.

Even the Dangleway? That's one hell of a stretch

Youd have to to the FNC on one day and the other parts of the map the next day

It did surprise me! I'll keep quiet about it so other people can have fun with itmichael_churchill wrote: ↑06 May 2020, 10:38 An idea I had, which I don't think I've ever mentioned on the forum, is "Tube challenge by borough".
Visit at least one tube station in all 26 of the 32 London boroughs that have them, plus the City of London.
Some stations are close to the boundary between boroughs and I believe some have entrances in more than one borough - For instance, Chancery Lane in the City and in Camden. To allocate one borough to each station, I eventually found a TfL source, https://tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/docum ... gures.xlsx
The six boroughs without tube stations are Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Kingston, Lewisham and Sutton. Bromley, Croydon and Lewisham are served by Overground and/or DLR, so they could also be included on a wider "Tube Map" challenge, if it's not hard enough! They all have NR stations.
Two boroughs each only have one tube station, so they must be visited. At the other extreme, Westminster has 32 so there are plenty of route planning options.
Come to think of it, just visiting all 32 stations in Westminster could be a good challenge.
For a trivia question, after Westminster's 32, which borough has the next most? The answer may surprise you!
