Italians on tubechallenge
Looking forward for my attempt the 12.12 I would like to know if someone else italian did it before and if he completed all 270 stations.
I could win my first record... the first italian doing the tube challenge also whitout the 270/270

Re: Italians on tubechallenge

I very much doubt that over the course of time all 270 would ever be visited randomly...palkanetoijala31 wrote:well i imagine there are some italians who live in the london area and over a certain course of time have managed to visit all 270 stations.but i doubt there has been anyone brave of daft enough to attempt all 270 on same day so if u complete then record be urs.

Re: Italians on tubechallenge
I would imagine that 95% of Londoners, if not more, have not visited more than 50% of the tube stations.

Re: Italians on tubechallenge
People living in Amersham will be commuters who use the tube for one thing - going into Zone 1. Why would they ever find themselves going to Epping, Edgware or Morden by tube? I doubt many would be doing that on a regular basis.palkanetoijala31 wrote:depends on how much of a clubber they were and living in amersham or chesham i guess u do a lot more stations than most.Going Underground wrote:I very much doubt that over the course of time all 270 would ever be visited randomly...palkanetoijala31 wrote:well i imagine there are some italians who live in the london area and over a certain course of time have managed to visit all 270 stations.but i doubt there has been anyone brave of daft enough to attempt all 270 on same day so if u complete then record be urs.

Re: Italians on tubechallenge
Before I started Tube Challenging I think over the course of many years living in London I had probably been to every station except Heathrow Terminal 5. I'd not been there before because it's a new station and I have never caught a plane from that terminal. But I may be a bit unusual in that I like exploring and going on walks round the edge of London. In fact, when I first started living here, London Transport used to publish a series of books of country walks which tended to start and finish at terminus stations. Does anyone else remember these books or are you all too young?

Re: Italians on tubechallenge
I don't remember these books. But you're not unusual in liking to explore the edges of London; I like doing that too. That's how I first came to visit every tube station, over the course of 18 years.Nigel wrote:I may be a bit unusual in that I like exploring and going on walks round the edge of London.

As a result, I was then challenged by a friend to do it in 18 hours. That's how I got into this Tube Challenging thing...

Re: Italians on tubechallenge
I don't get why you are 'picking' on tubeguru. If something is imagined, it is surely not a statistic?

Re: Italians on tubechallenge
Even if someone has visited all of the 'normal' stations, I highly doubt that they'd have visited all of the Heathrow stations, or MHE/Olympia for that matter.

Re: Italians on tubechallenge
Long before I took up tube challenging I'd been to Olympia many times (not surprisingly for exhibitions!). Mill Hill East I think I'd only visited once previously - I arrived there to catch a train home after a walk following the Dollis Brook.snudge27 wrote:Even if someone has visited all of the 'normal' stations, I highly doubt that they'd have visited all of the Heathrow stations, or MHE/Olympia for that matter.

They're also unlikely to have done the 'slow lines' where they are paralleled by a quicker route eg Jubilee between Baker St and Wembley Park, or Disctict between Hammersmith and Acton Town, unless they live on those stretches of course.
