You are right
The ELL doesn't need to be done anymore.

and

Westbound Met Northern - last carriage
Eastbound Met Northern - 2nd carriage 1st door
..... I think?

Just to double-check, what's the record?

[hopeful traveller]

Firstly, when I was travelling to my starting place, I noticed a group and a logbook at Baker Street Station. Was this an All stations record attempt? (Went past Baker St. at 15:19)

My starting destination was Farringdon. After helping a lost tourist, I took a Hammersmith & City Line train to Barbican, whereupon I changed for a Metropolitan Line, waiting for 4 minutes. . At Moorgate (thank you for car number and door number) the change to the Northern Line was smooth, getting a train just as it pulled in. I got off at Bank.

If you've ever been on the Waterloo & City Line, then it feels like it is in Paris - it is so far away from the rest of the station. There was a train on the platform, but it remained there for a few minutes - meaning I had spent 6 minutes at Bank. At Waterloo, there was, again, a long walk to the Jubilee Line, where I got for 1 stop to Westminster - and took the stairs (so I beat the crowd! ) and the Circle Line to St. James' Park was smooth. At St James' Park, the 2 most antagonising minutes of my life took shape as I began to focus a bit more on the times. Finally the Richmond train came in.

Crowds at Victoria were not as bad as I have seen in the past, but it was still pretty bad. We all crowded onto the train to Green Park. Then a ticket inspector showed up, meaning I had to waste time fumbling around with my Oyster and not get to the door I wanted (I had got on 1 door too early), wasting valuable seconds. Still, there was quite a quick run to the Piccadilly Line, where I got onto the platform with 1 min to a train. To the Bakerloo Line to Oxford Circus, then I took the first central Line train that came. Unfortunately, it was rush hour by then.

No way, is that you Rhys? Massive coincidence.

Yes, well done.

A ticket inspector on the Tube?!

[hopeful traveller]

A ticket inspector on the Tube?!

It was a police officer between Victoria & Green Park.

[MylesHSG]

A ticket inspector on the Tube?!

The only time i've ever been asked for a ticket is on the DLR.

[Sam]

I've been ticket inspected a couple of times. Once on the jubilee line and the other at Green Park in the corridor between lines!
