(My) School Challenge

Post by hopeful traveller »

Basically was a way to encourage Tube Challenging at school.

You have between 4pm and 5pm to get to as many different stops from school as possible - and get back to school. For every 5 minutes late one stop is knocked off. So far I'm the only person to have done this.

Attempt one: 3 stops in 51 minutes - TOTAL 3.
Attempt two: 13 stops in 96 minutes - TOTAL 7.

I didn't have any underground systems in my school, so I wasn't able to do this one.

Surely it's advantageous simply to go to the southern section of the surface lines and then just rack up a load of stops (one every two or three minutes on average) and then just return to school when the Tube closes for the night. The frequency of stops would outweigh the loss of a point every five minutes.
