You could try visiting all the Suburban rail (if thats what theyre called) stations on the london transport map within zones 1-D.
I would try it if it didn't take too long.

A quick count reveals somewhere in the region of 320 such stations. You'd need to do:-
Fenchurch Street to Upminster/Rainham
Liverpool Street to Harold Wood/Chingford/Enfield Lock/Turkey Street
Moorgate to Crews Hill/Hadley Wood
Kings Cross to Finsbury Park
Elstree & Borehamwood to East Croydon/Wimbledon Loop
Euston to Hatch End
Marylebone to Amersham/West Ruislip
Paddington to Greenford/West Drayton
Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction
Richmond to North Woolwich
Gospel Oak to Barking
Victoria to Cheam/Belmont
Waterloo to Feltham/Hampton/Hampton Court/Chessington South/Stoneleigh
Charing Cross/Cannon Street/London Bridge to Woodmansterne/Coulsdon South/Kenley/Riddlesdown/Hayes/Bromley North/Beckenham Junction/Knockholt/St. Mary Cray/Crayford/Barnehurst/Slade Green
Think that's the lot...
Cheers,
Barry

a hell of a lot, yes. not to mention that some stations, for example knockholt, have only one tph each way, a lot of lines are one every half hour, and sudbury & harrow road would be a complete nightmare cos it only has 3 a day. the tube challenge is doable cos its frequent most of the time.
i once thought about trying every station with trains run by one particular company (a challenging one, not C2C), for example southern or southeastern, and that seems hard enough...
all NR stations within zones 1 and 2 would probably be roughly feasible though, that would work, cos the lines are often a lot more frequent at the london end
