    Or Los Angeles, believe it or not. The Gold Line goes all the way to Azuza (current last stop is APU/Citrus College), take that to Union Station, transfer to the either subway line (Red or Purple, doesn't matter, they both share stops downtown), then transfer at 7th Street Metro Center to either the Blue Line to Long Beach or the Expo Line to Santa Monica. APU to Long Beach is about 45 or 50 miles, Santa Monica is about 8 miles closer. AND, when the Regional Connector opens, the Gold Line and Blue Line will be interlined (two new stops downtown as well), eliminating the double transfer-it will all be one train. AND, they are extending the Gold Line all the way to Montclair in San Bernardino County, another 12.6 miles. So, when done, one train, 60 miles or so. All that for $1.75.

    As a matter of comparison, the "A" train on the NYC subway is the same length from Far Rockaway in the borough of Queens to Inwood in upper Manhattan. Since you pay a flat fare, you could travel the entire route for USD2.75 (approximately GBP2.25) in just under 2 hours. Further, the portion of the line in Queens is rather scenic, traveling over Jamaica Bay and along the Rockaway Peninsula adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. You could continue your journey via a free transfer to a local bus until you reach the city limit, at which point, you'd have to pay another fare to use a suburban bus.

    Even better, you can start in Tarrytown (NY), take the Bee Line route 1 to 242 St, transfer to the subway (free transfer), take the 1 to the A to Far Rockaway. Over 40 miles for $2.75. 3h35 hours according to Google maps. (Driving would be 1h25 at the moment and commuter rail + subway would be 2h20 for .)

    The other option is touch pink at Gunnersbury, go via Zone 1 to Startford, touch pink and get on the central line. Between Gunnersbury and Stratford, it thinks you take the overground apparently but ive never tried it so not 100% certain. It also means changing at Turnham Green for Richmond branch then going back up and to Westminster for the jubilee though. At Stratford, you also have to go to the overground platforms to touch the reader, then walk all the way back. If you dont want to do that, just touch out and touch back in (at the footbridge exit not the main one because main is busy footbridge is empty)

    I'm always surprised how much trains cost in the uk. Here in Sydney the weekly cap for opal card journeys is $50 ($25) and sunday cap is $2.80 ($1.40) this means you can take a 2 hour+ trip into either the sydney or newcastle CBD for less than a loaf of bread.

    In theory you can actually trick it into think you went a different way. Here’s how it would work: Start at Heathrow Get off at Earl’s Court Change to a train to Wimbledon Get off and tap the pink oyster at West Brompton Board a train to Upminster Get off at Mile End Change to the Central line Get off at Stratford Tap the pink oyster there Take Jubilee line to West Ham Get on District line to Upminster Exit at Upminster Congratulations, you have just made it think you didn’t go into zone 1 when you did. I doubt that it’ll find something strange after going around faster than normal.

    I really enjoyed that. The underground fare pricing is far more reasonable than national rail. Even if you travel off peak and pay the full £12 capped fare and get on and off as many times as you like between Heathrow and Upminster it is still very cheap considering it’s over 40 miles from Heathrow to Upminster. Indeed you could travel almost 200 miles of Underground within zones 1-6 for £12. I can’t imagine how much that would cost if National rail or one of its TOCs ran the London Underground lol.
