Emsworth’s subway record breaker visits 468 stations

FOR most visitors to the Big Apple, the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty are top of the ‘must-see’ list.

But not for Glen Bryant, who went underground to visit all 468 stations on the subway.

His off-the-wall feat has now earned the 26-year-old a Guinness World Record for having visited all New York tube stations in the quickest time possible – 22 hours, 26 minutes and two seconds.

Glen, a pharmacist, said: ‘It’s a relief. It took six months to find out we got the record so it was a nerve-wrecking wait. Now it’s official, it’s quite amazing.’

Visiting tube stations is something of a hobby for Glen.

Before getting the world record in New York, he attempted to visit all 270 stations on the London underground in the quickest time possible – no less than 14 times.

But he has always been pipped to the post by another daredevil, with his time of 17 hours 29 minutes about an hour shy of the world record.

He then met five other people online who all had the same dream of getting the world record in New York and the six of them jetted off last November.

Loaded up with supplies of chocolate and sweets, they began their challenge at 3am and got to their last stop at 1am the following day...

it has to include some specail night services, as some links are only served by those/then. From what I remember, the real challenge was/is to cover all rails with a public service, not just all stations/stops.
