Default Can you visit every underground station on one fare?

Is there a generally accepted optimal route for attempting the challenge
within these rules? Presumably there are certain parts of the network
that impose constraints so have to be done at particular times.

All far too sophisticated for 1970! No WTT for a start and not even a pocket
calculator to carry around. We did have some contingencies set up to cover
extra bits, mainly in Zone 1, if we got ahead of our timetable. We were 40
minutes up until the bloody 107 bus let us down so badly.


Ah. I could have warned you about that! I used to live on the 107, and
in 1970 it would have been one of London's longest central buses
routes. Delays were the norm.

Mind you, it was handy for a trip to Aldenham Works.
