I recently decided to try my first challenge: The DLR. My route was Lewisham>Bank>Tower Gateway>Beckton>Bus across to King George V>Woolwich Arsenal>Canning Town>Stratford International>Stratford>All Saints. Everything was alright except for a major hang-up at Bank. I took the District line to Tower Hill and ran to Tower Gateway from there, but the whole thing took 20 minutes. Was it just bad timing, or is there a better way? I'm going to re-attempt my challenge this week.
Just bad timing, because Tower Gateway gets only 6 trains per hour and Bank substantially more it's always worth checking the boards at Shadwell to see whether it would be faster to drop back onto a Tower train and do Tower first (then Bank)...
All London buses: 23 hours 25 minutes (with Adham, David, Josh and Tangy)
