I give you the Heathrow to London City Airport challenge, or London City to Heathrow

Quite simply you can start or arrive at any Heathrow Terminal station and the journey between airports MUST include at least one stop done all lines including the Overground

Nice simple rules 8)

One stop or one leg?

I assume you mean you must travel between at least 2 stations on each line, otherwise a visit to Waterloo knocks off 4 lines.

Had to stop and give this a second glance, as EAL is the code for Ealing Broadway!

An abbreviation of Emirates Air Line, aka cable car, aka the big White Elephant in East London!

Surely you're only allowed to use scheduled flights. :)
