Because of South Wimbledon - Wimbledon?***** wrote:Good luck with that run ... which doesn't save you time even if you do it in the middle of the day when the park is open. I'm betting you've never actually been there and tried it, let alone try it anger on a challenge attempt!
There are other ways of doing Preston Road / Northwick Park as well, whicH have been discovered via painstaking research by people actually getting out there and doing it. You need to get out on the tube and on foot to try things out and see what works.
I definetely wouldn't start or finish an attempt at Morden though. That's my tip ...

My Tip: Don't get involved in Tube Challenge in the first place, you will risk wasting countless hours, days, weeks in a hobby which is entirely pointless.
One day I shall return!

Re: Tips that you are happy to share
Well, the basic ones I didn't now, such as the 307 bus, running between Gunnersbury and Chiswick Park etc.

Re: Tips that you are happy to share
Who says they are the basic ones? Surely if you want to devise a tube route, you devise it under your own steam, you investigate the various options for connecting stations, how to deal with termini etc? How do you think that it was initially "discovered" that such a bus and such a run is feasible?hopeful traveller wrote:Well, the basic ones I didn't now, such as the 307 bus, running between Gunnersbury and Chiswick Park etc.

Re: Tips that you are happy to share
An everyday one now:
When tracking down the Waterloo & City Line at Waterloo from the Jubilee Line, follow the isgns to Northern Line, then after the moving walkway, start following the W&C signs.
Edited to change WC to W&C...
