Default Visiting All Tube Stations

om...
I've been fascinated with the Underground since my first visit to
London in November 2001.

I want to visit every single station. How long do you think it would
take? I want to get at least one exterior picture, and one interior.
I figure I could do maybe 15 stations an hour if I was really pushing
it; but 10 is probably more practical.


Even 10 per hour sounds optimistic. Particularly in central London it would
take 2 minutes just to get up the escalators and out of the station, a minute
to take a photo, another 2 minutes to get back to the platforms and then
another few minutes waiting for the next train.

Then, when you reach the end of the line, you will have to turn around and
double back past stations you have already photographed which will waste more
time.

So I think it will take a lot longer than you expect.

Anyone here have any experience with this? Where would you start?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
