26 trains suggests you had to change at Kennington
I can't find a journey with more than 97 stations, but you can do that number with fewer changes by going via Southwark instead of Borough (West Ham - Waterloo - Elephant - Stockwell instead of West Ham - London Bridge - Elephant - Waterloo - Kennington -Stockwell) |
Seeing as you were recently at Roxbourne Park I'm wondering if you left any stations (eg Rayners Lane) to explore and if so, would that count towards the time total?
|
At no point did I pass through a gateline, except at Bow Road.
|
Slight correction - inside the Circle you missed Russell Square in addition to Regent's Park.

It was a very good book.
|
Great, now I'm wondering what the longest would be if you included everything on the tube map... and if you included National Rail within the zones too.
|
You may not forgive yourself, but I should think we would, for treating Euston as two stations in the vein of Bank/Monument!
|
The total time was 5 hours 25 minutes. Behold the wisdom of crowds. |
Would the Snake Tube Challenge route count (this is 128 stations)?
Epping - Woodford - Stratford (via Hainault) - Waterloo - Elephant & Castle - Stockwell - Victoria - Mile End - Liverpool Street - Moorgate - Bank - Holborn - Leicester Square - Charing Cross - Oxford Circus - Tottenham Court Road - Euston - Kings Cross - Baker Street - Wembley Park (via Jubilee) - Rayners Lane - Ealing Common - Ealing Broadway - Bond Street - Green Park - Gloucester Road or South Kensington - High Street Kensington - Earls Court - Acton Town (via District) - Heathrow T4 - Heathrow T123 - Heathrow T5 |
No repeats and it’s gateline-free, so yes. It scores big because it manages to include Ealing Broadway to Holland Park.
But it’s not a loop, so on my specific challenge, no. |
You can go from Old Street to Highbury & Islington without crossing a gateline or passing through King's Cross by taking the Northern City Line, which would let you include that loop to Finsbury Park and bring the total count up to a to pleasing 101.
|
You can, but it’s not a tube journey.
|
I know its not a race but I felt a challenge coming on and did this today starting at Turnham Green. Took 5hrs 35 mins. 26 trains, 1hr 50 interchanging and waiting for trains. Passed through Bow Road at 14:01.
