A tube running marathon... 42 Z1 stations. A few people I know from MK have done it, on the same day as we were doing the 270 for comic relief!

Seems harder than an actual marathon with all the descending and climbing stairs!

Erm, 42 arbitrarily selected stations out of 64 in Zone 1? We can get our own 42 stations Underround route for that. In fact, here's a couple.

Here's a good circuit, makes sense and is not so hard:

Marble Arch :arrow: Lancaster Gate :arrow: Paddington (BCD) :arrow: Paddington H&C :arrow: Bayswater :arrow: Queensway :arrow: Notting Hill Gate :arrow: HSK :arrow: Earl's Court :arrow: Gloucester Road :arrow: South Ken :arrow: Sloane Square :arrow: Victoria :arrow: St. James's Park :arrow: Westminster :arrow: Charing Cross :arrow: Embankment :arrow: Temple :arrow: Blackfriars :arrow: St. Paul's :arrow: Mansion House :arrow: Cannon Street :arrow: Bank :arrow: Monument :arrow: Tower Hill :arrow: Aldgate East :arrow: Aldgate :arrow: Liverpool Street :arrow: Moorgate :arrow: Barbican :arrow: Farringdon :arrow: KCSP :arrow: Euston :arrow: Euston Square :arrow: Warren Street :arrow: GPS :arrow: Regent's Park :arrow: Baker Street :arrow: Marylebone :arrow: Edgware Road (Bak) :arrow: Edgware Road (CDHC)

Or alternatively, for the masochists who insist on having loads of deep level stations, here's one Z1 tour entirely comprised of them (and the platforms you'd be forced to use, because that's how they seem to do this Underround):

NHG (Cen) :arrow: Queensway (Cen) :arrow: Lancaster Gate (Cen) :arrow: Paddington (Bak) :arrow: Edgware Road (Bak) :arrow: Marylebone (Bak) :arrow: Baker Street (Bak/Jub) :arrow: Marble Arch (Cen) :arrow: Bond Street (Jub) :arrow: Oxford Circus (Vic/Bak) :arrow: Regent's Park (Bak) :arrow: Warren Street (Nor) :arrow: Euston (Vic/Bank branch) :arrow: KCSP (Nor, surface via the other ticket hall) :arrow: Angel (Nor) :arrow: Old Street (Nor) :arrow: Moorgate (Nor) :arrow: Liverpool Street (Cen) :arrow: Bank (DLR, or if not allowed, Nor) :arrow: St. Paul's (Cen) :arrow: Chancery Lane (Cen) :arrow: Holborn (Pic) :arrow: Russell Square (Pic) :arrow: Goodge Street (Nor) :arrow: TCR (Nor) :arrow: Covent Garden (Pic) :arrow: Leicester Square (Pic) :arrow: Charing Cross (down via Bak, up via Nor) :arrow: Embankment (any Bak/Nor) :arrow: Waterloo (down via Bak, up via Jub) :arrow: Southwark (Jub) :arrow: Borough (Nor) :arrow: Elephant and Castle (down to Nor, up to Bak) :arrow: Lambeth North (Bak) :arrow: Westminster (Jub) :arrow: Piccadilly Circus (Pic) :arrow: Green Park (down to Jub, up via Pic) :arrow: Hyde Park Korner (Pic) :arrow: Knightsbridge (Pic) :arrow: South Kensington (Pic) :arrow: Gloucester Road (Pic) :arrow: Earl's Court (Pic).
