All Lines challenge question
Bored evening while my girlfriend's off with her flatmates, so as a laugh I've plotted myself two All line routes. However, a thought struck me (and it bloody hurt, too) - if someone were to travel, purely hypothetically, between GPS and Euston Square on a H&C train (told you it was hypothetical ) - would that count as one line, or three? As you would be going over the same metals that the Met and the Circle line use...
I think I know what the answer will be, but I want to make sure just to put my mind at ease.

You should do what Geoff and I did.
We started at Barbican with the intention of changing to the District at Aldgate East to get us to Whitechapel.
So we stood there and waited until the next three eastbound trains showing on the board were Circle, Met, H&C in that order. In fact it wouldn't have mattered which way round the first two were, so long as the third was an H&C.
So we did Circle to Moorgate, got off and waited for the following Met, took that to Liverpool Street, got off and waited for the following H&C, and went to Aldgate East!
Simple really ...
