270 without visiting a single station twice.
I was looking at the map and thinking can i make a route where i didnt have to visit a single station twice or double back i know some interesting runs or buses would have to be used.Kings Cross is a bug bear as is Woodford and West Ham allthough i think i can cover that 1 out.

A lot stop but if you are looking at a timetable for today then you'll find more don't as there is engineering works on the main line.

Re: 270 without visiting a single station twice.
As I noticed on Thursday morning, the first Chiltern service from Amersham (0552) is next stop Harrow, although obviously I caught the following Met line train. This is normally the second Met, but on Thursday the first Met of the morning had been cancelled, so there were a surprisingly large number of unhappy people squeezing on to the Chiltern service. If it had stopped at Chalfont & Latimer it would have been quite useful.

Re: 270 without visiting a single station twice.
The only way to get extra stops put on a Chiltern is to have a member of staff give a stop order to the driver at the request of control so at that time of the morning, there might not have been too many staff around to facilitate such a stop.

Re: 270 without visiting a single station twice.
Under the 'track sharing' rule, over what portions of the line does visiting a Met station on a Chiltern service count as a legitimate visit?

Between Moor Park and Amersham I would say.

I would also say that Harrow-on-the-Hill would count as a call too.

That is a good point, has anyone done a GWR attempt starting/finishing at Epping or is the Hainault loop too much off a problem!palkanetoijala31 wrote:i was thinking of starting there its the most problamatic to not double back.The Raven wrote:What about Epping? Unless you started/finished there!
