A new mouse-style idea...

Post by snudge27 »

I was having a look at the tube map on my computer at work today and this struck me as an idea... The outer loop is a little something like this:

Rayners Lane
Baker Street
Embankment
Acton Town
Rayners Lane

Looks like it could make for some interesting routes - thoughts?

That looks like quite a tricky challenge, would you include the Jubilee stations between Wembley Park & Baker Street, or can you just take the Met between these points? I have a challenge in that area of the map called the boot.

I think that's one of the good things with this idea - it makes for a very versatile challenge. The area can range from the full one which I have suggested, right the way down to your 'boot' idea depending on how long or challenging you want the challenge to be. I think the inclusion of the western end of the Met in the challenge spices things up a bit too because of all the various destinations of the trains - thus you may find yourself with a long wait for an Uxbridge train (or a Rayners Lane train on the Piccadilly)!

At least the Mouse had a point - all the stations are contained within one line, much like the Bottle. This is just finding bits of the map that may or may not look like something.
