Crazy Lazy London Journeys
The aim is to think of journeys lengthened dramatically with the sole aim of reducing the legwork.
Two examples:

Re: Crazy Lazy London Journeys
King's Cross to Euston via Inverness. Head north on the 1200 Highland Chieftan service; walk to the adjacent platform where the sleeper is waiting for you. You should arrive the following morning, having slept in a bed, too.
