You wake up at 3am and cannot sleep (this journey has destroyed your body clock). You head into the Piccadilly line northbound tunnels, where you find something...

Passing by... you find a set of manual points and a 1972 Tube Stock Train (these are actually here - part of the Aldwych branch).

So you sneakily walk down the Aldwych branch to ... Aldwych, I guess?

You find Aldwych very pretty, but you remove the short circuit on the Aldwych tracks, restoring power to the Aldwych branch. Satisfied with your work, you head back to the 1972 Stock. Time for some exploration.

Then run upstairs, breaking through every security door, and find yourself outside the station. Waiting for a bus...

Take a number 91 to St. Pancras, for you have made many kings cross and are now on the run.

Hop on a Greater Anglia service to Chingford, where you rest and catch your breath.

Where you notice Mr Inspector sitting behind you, and then get off the 724 at Rickmansworth in tube challenger fashion, and hop on the Southbound train for Aldgate which is conveniently waiting for you on the platform, and therefore lose Mr Inspector.

At Aldgate, you board a 78 to Nunhead, on which you enter into a lively conversation with a nun heading in the same direction.
