London All Lines Challenge: Every Tube, National Rail and TfL Line!

On the 9th April 2021, myself and The Great Eastern Train Fan embarked on perhaps the most ambitious challenge we've ever done in London - the challenge being the All Lines Challenge, but we've taken it to a whole new level.
In our version of the All Lines Challenge, we travelled on all the London Underground lines, companies operating trains in London (eg. Southeastern, Thameslink, GWR) and all TfL managed lines (eg. Trams, London Overground, TfL Rail) in the shortest time possible, something we believe nobody else has ever attempted before.
So join us on our incredible, fast paced journey against the clock. What will be our final time? Watch along to find out!

    When I did a challenge to do all national rail operators that serve stations in London the children railways train was extremely annoying to wait at Marylebone. We also did the shuttle service from Greenford to west Ealing which was every half hour.

    It’s interesting to hear from another person that has attempted such a challenge! The lines with low frequencies are incredibly annoying. In the time it took for us to board the train, we walked leisurely to the McDonalds opposite Baker Street station, waited 10 minutes for food, ate, then walked leisurely back to the station again.

    1. Have a rigid plan so you can time your connections as well as you can. Try and stay ahead of it if you can. 2. Learn the stations with difficult interchanges between lines (eg. Waterloo, Charing Cross, Green Park) so you can eliminate them, or be more confident about the route. 3. Pack lots of water with you, you’ll need it. 4. Be prepared for lots of standing on trains and sprints among crowds of people. It’s going to be difficult. 5. Remember to start your timer as soon as you board the first train and stop as soon as you get off your last train. Good luck!
