My Trial Tube Challenge Routing

[palkanetoijala31]

seeing as i presume u want to start and finish close to home where is the perfect station for u to start and finish at.?

[tubeguru]

That would be Epping, like he said.

Well i presume he comes from Stanstead wouldnt a Liverpool Street finish be better or has Adam got somebody to give him a lift to Walthamstow in morning or a lift from Epping late at night for example he has put a lot of effort into this i worked out the 1st part of his route up to Mill Hil east worked out that takes him 2h 20m to do alone

[waterloo and city]

Well, the genernal idea is that I'll be on the 2345 Stansted Airport - Tottenham Hale train, then a night bus to Walthamstow Central (the number escapes me ATM) and then a 5 hour camping stint outside the station.

Neither of my parents drive (which is very helpful ), so the route back from Epping would rely on a bus of current.

But Liverpool Street is the ideal finishing place as then I can get a train back to Stansted Airport and then get a local bus home. (Long live the 24hour 510!)

iI'm scouting around my mates on Facebook looking for someone to attempt the run with, no joy so far

You might get some takers on here.

I've now got a mate interested, but he's up in Tamworth. If anyone else is interested, post here.

I'm now looking into a route starting at Epping and finishing at Liverpool Street for my sake. Then I can get a coach back to the airport, then the bus home.

Right, off to start planning.

Good luck with your route. Do be aware, though, that tailoring a route around what's convenient for you--and I can completely understand why you're doing it--may not produce the best timing. After all, people don't start at Amersham because it's convenient...

[waterloo and city]

Thanks, I can see why most start at Amersham. It's a pain in the neck!

But I don't have usage of a car or any real money as such, which doesn't help my cause much. But I just have to do what I can with it.

[waterloo and city]

Question guys and gals, are the two Hammersmiths (Dist/Picc & Circle/H&C) classed as 1 station, or am I required to vist both?

Adam.

[Steeevooo]

You must visit both. The same applies to both Paddington stations too.

[waterloo and city]

Thanks, both catered for on another planned routing. And here it is. Amersham / Chesham area still being a right old pain. Note that buses and line interchanges are not noted and all stations are covered.

Your route is coming on well, Adam. I know you said that all the stops were covered, but I couldn't work out where Aldgate was happening - it's one of the stations that stuffs up my route planning sometimes, I know that much!

My only advice would be to do Bayswater inbetween HSK and Wimbledon. It saves you changing stations at Paddington (you have already covered the 'main' Paddington station on your Bakerloo line trip earlier).

Best of luck

[waterloo and city]

Oh, must have taken Aldgate out whilst planning the rest around there.

We'll just have to do Aldgate East - Tower Hill - Aldgate - Aldgate East - Mile End then won't we?

Adam.

[Wanstead]

Oh, must have taken Aldgate out whilst planning the rest around there.

Depending on your route around the Aldgate area it can be quicker to get from one to the other on foot, eg Aldgate -> Aldgate East.

[waterloo and city]

Yes, but my sense of direction is non-exsictant around London, so the Tube may be my best and only decent option.
