Just wondering: How many of us have visited (and in my case,
photographed) every rail, tube, DLR and tram station within the
Travelcard area (including Metropolitan stations out to "Zone 9")?

Anyone who has attempted the Guinness Book of Records "visit every
station in the shortest time" will have, err, visited every [tube]
station.

Ah but I said "rail, tube, DLR and tram station within the Travelcard
area".

You need to stay in more. ;-)

Sorry forgot to post a link to my pics!
Unfortunately not on my own website but they are on Wikimedia Commons.
To see them all as a (sortable) list go to:
http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSe...me&format=html

To see what I contributed for an individual station, go to:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
and type in:

Sunil060902 [station name]

in the search box on the left.

eg.
Sunil060902 Gants Hill


Didn't go for any records, just did them all slowly but surely over
the last year and a bit!

what counts as "visited"?

The thought the tube "competition" just requires you to pass through. By
that criteria I think I have passed the Doctors test, but I certainly
haven't stood on the platform or in the booking hall of most of them, I'm
not that strange :-)

Sure, but "every tube station" covers one big chunk of that.

That depends. While some us appreciate that the OP has photographed the
outside, you could qualify just by photographing the platforms...

Just to turn the tables a bit how many London Bus Routes have you
travelled on?

By about 1980 I had done every inch of London's bus network, apart from
three roads which could only be done at difficult hours (Northumberland
Avenue, Ballards Road in Dagenham and Whitefoot Lane in Catford). Of course
the network is a lot denser now.

I remember reading your account of visiting every station on this
newsgroup many years ago :-)

I have passed through every station in London although I didn't get off
at every station.
