Does the refilled bottles mean what I think it means?
I wonder if any one has tried a fastest time to visit all the underground stations overground i.e. by cycling or running between them all.

They must be mad, but then maybe I am too, as I quite like the idea of having a go at that.

I'm far to old for all that running about. But I'm also glad that there are people who will give it a go, just for the Glory.

Barry re, refilling the bottles I am Geoff's mum, and I think you are right. It's Vicki I feel sorry for, not easy to deal with this problem when you are a female!

"I wonder what DG's written about this morning..." "Oh...!" ha ha haaaa
@barry, there's a guy out there right now that's running the entire tube, he's doing one line at a time, about one a month, yes.
i can also confirm that it's essential to carry an empty bottle with you at all times "just in case". and for me and Anthony that moment happened when we found the toilets shut at Stanmore and we were waiting for the train to reverse. you find an empty carriage, crouch down in the corner, and away you go ...

Well Geoff you have my admiration (I don't mean for peeing in the bottles). It must be a logistical nightmare all the planning involved. You must also be fit as the proverbial butcher's dog with all the running as well. If I tried it I would get half way up the first set of escalators and then need to stop for oxygen.

I occasionally worked at Guinness in the '90s. It was a lovely, fusty, gentlemanly sort of place. Then the powers-that-be decided it had to be funked up and wanted all these silly new records. Norris McWhirter was aghast and so they just got rid of him. It was all very sad.

The cost per mile on a Travelcard must be delighfully low, for once!

Better luck next time, Geoff.
Has anyone tried to set a time for entering/exiting all stations? Obviously, you'd have to do it over several days, and it'd cost more, but the proof would be right there in the Oyster system.

I have one and precisely one memory of the toilets at Stanmore, and believe me, Geoff, you got off very lightly.

This is really fascinating. I wonder if someone ever attempted to set a record for travelling all tube stations strictly without leaving a station. Would it be possible at all to finish before the overnight closure?

At lease nowadays there's no need to visit Ongar & Quainton Road, which should speed things up somewhat.
