Why?

Surely this question could be asked about any aspect of Tube Challenge. If anybody knows a good answer could they let me know.standclearofthedoors wrote:Why?

Yes, but it just seems that weve got too many challenges as it is- surely priority should be given to attempting those we already have which havent been attempted....

Bakerloo
Central
Circle
District
(DLR)
East London Line
Hammersmith & City
Jubilee
Metropolitan
Northern
Piccadilly
Victoria
Waterloo & City
It would involve a lot more changes than at present.

Hrm...Let's see. Off the top of my head:A2 wrote:It would involve a lot more changes than at present.
Regent's Park (Bakerloo) - Oxford Circus (Central) - Notting Hill Gate (Circle) - Tower Hill (District) - Whitechapel (East London) - Shadwell (East London) - Whitechapel (Hammersmith and City) - Baker Street (Jubilee) - Finchley Road (Metropolitan) - Euston Square (WALK) - Euston (Northern) - Kings Cross St Pancras (Piccadilly) - Finsbury Park (Victoria) - Oxford Circus (Bakerloo) - Waterloo (Waterloo and City) - Bank
14 changes, various doubling back, and a couple of long runs, so I think it'd probably take at least twice as long as a "normal" ALC.
Cheers,

Why go west from Oxford Circus? Seems to me it would make more sense to pick up the Circle line at Embankment (via TCR) or Bank (loooong change, but probably outweighed by the reduction in journey). But then what do I know...
It it indeed a slightly evil challenge, though

There's also only around 2 feasible routes, too..

Oh, I dunno... there are a few possibly-cunning variations, like taking the DLR to Shadwell to avoid doubling back on the ELL (which, by curious quirk of fate, would put the DLR in the correct position alphabetically too). For the last bit, I'd be inclined to go Euston (Northern) - Leicester Square (Piccadilly) - Green Park (Victoria) - Oxford Circus.

Well I did it, foolishly including the DLR as a neccessity, and it goes as follows. I couldn't be arsed to do all fancy colours and that. Sorry.

It's probably not even that efficient a route anyway.
