Well, why don't we do a Mouse and a 129 then? Zone 1 has been done quite a lot recently (although I still can't seem to find the Ultimate Route) although we could tack that onto the end if you like!

I love how "Ultimate Route" is capitalised...
Makes this whole thing feel like a video game.

Just about still on holiday that week, so if I've done my holiday homework I might be able to join you.

Always on the look-out for new challenges, I got a time of 1:29'12" for the Mouse yesterday. That means that I'm the new record holder!

aren't you the only record holder? or has someone actually done it before you?!

Ummm yes I'm the only one who's ever done it. However I suppose everybody who's done an all-stations attempt has in particular visited all the Mouse stations, so I suppose their times could count as well!

He's right... this adds a whole new dimension to tubechallenging!

Also would it be possible to complete an "All Lines" Challenge at the same time as doing the Mouse?
I've updated the Mouse page on my site (surprise, surprise, guess who's no. 1)

I think not. The East London is completely outside the Mouse, and the Waterloo and City isn't very much use. Moreover, unless you're absolutely insane like me, you wouldn't dream of using all four surface lines to do the Mouse!

Oooops, I forgot all about the ELL, so easy to forget

It may interest you to know that I've proven that it's not possible to do an All Lines Challenge by going only one stop on each line. (That assumes that we're not including the DLR.) Whichever route one picks, one always has to go at least two stops on at least one of the lines.
For details of my proof, see me.

Good one!
I really enjoyed double checking you!
But it IS possible do an All Lines Challenge by visiting only two stations on each line!

Is it? Hmm. Does that involve a little bit of running between stations here and there?

Nope...
