Let me assure you that most of the saddos, I mean challengers on this site will be more than willing to visit tube stations on a whim. :roll:

Will Geoff's mysterious reasons linking 48 stations be revealed? And why is this a "Non-LU Challenge"?

If the challenge can be accomplished on weekends or during weekday evenings then I would be happy to participate.

I just typed 48 London Underground stations into Google and up popped the TfL site saying that there are 48 stations with step-free access!

Geoff's challenge has nothing to do with step-free access stations.

I just gave you big clue above.

It's obvious Geoff is going to be visiting the 48 mainland states of the USA, but i don't know how that links into 48 tube stations?

Ah ha!

Now you're getting somewhere. Can you seriously not think of what he might be doing in 48 different states?

I was thinking that you could superimpose the tube map on a map of the USA and just see which stations were closest to each of the 48 state capitals.

... I don't think I'm correct...

Is it anything to do with the 48 contiguous states of the USA? Maybe their 2-letter codes appearing in station names?
