Oh the running tunnels are fun. Now what bits have I done in the cab -
all the Victoria line including to the depot, Northern Line - Edgware -
Kennington via Charing Cross and the City branch, Picc Line - Earls Ct -
Acton Town (I still have the bumps on my head from the track quality and
this was over 15 years ago), Met Line - Amersham - Baker St, District
Line Richmond Branch, Circle Line - HSK - St James Park, Jubilee Line -
Stratford - Waterloo including the crossover. Don't think I've done
any of the Central Line, Bakerloo Line or East London Line.

What can I say... LUCKY!
I'm totally jealous now :-|

A very small perk of the job. I'm sure I could probably get more cab
rides but it takes time to organise and I'd certainly not make a direct
approach to a driver without a cab pass. While many drivers are happy
to have some company up front they are paid to concentrate on driving
not be yapping to some stranger.

If Mr C. cared to dust off his cab pass, he could no doubt add to that
list too!

What cab pass? I don't have one as I really cannot justify it as part
of the day job.

The above were done via a previous "last day" special run out, one
organised trip I sorted for people on another newsgroup, on the staff
preview of the JLE days before it opened for public service and last but
no least bumping into a former apprentice who'd worked in our office but
had made it to driver - he said "hop in".
