Did the challenge in 1990 and visited the entire network as it stood then in one day. Since then done every Underground addition (apart from T5) and all of the DLR. Not done the cable car or certain bits of London Overground since it's been London Overground. (Don't think I've ever done GOB at...

Technically my nearest NR station (by a matter of feet) though I have zero need for it. Not sure there are any services these days which non-stop Lewisham but which stop at St Johns. There are lots which do the opposite as only 2 of the 6 roads out of Lewisham pass St Johns platforms, and...

A stock were great - the last real connection with the Met Railway's history of mainline aspiration. I don't miss the 67 tube stock so much... but it's strange to think that when I first travelled on the underground they felt like the new and modern trains compared to the 38/56/59 stock on the...
