Every station within the Travelcard area?
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")? |

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 :-) tim |

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. |

If we're allowing 'passing through' as visited, I believe my only gaps are the DLR Woolwich extension, the Shepperton branch stations within Greater London, and a handful of curves, eg Slade Green. And HS1. I have an ongoing project to do each TfL bus route, end to end, which of course I will never complete because the network changes faster than I can cross off routes. Chris |

I've been to or passed through every (active!) station, though not got off at them all. Bother, just realised there is now T5 - I went there on a tour when it was being built, but not by train! Further afield I "did" Strood - Maidstone West at the weekend, which I think was the last "normal" route in SC and SE-land I needed, give or take some odd curves and the like. I now need to find a reason to go to Bicester and Henley. -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |

Peter Smyth Hi! Yes that was me, but back then it was a case of passing *through* everything within the Travelcard area (ie. all *routes*), and I lacked a camera of my own! Just to set the record straight: calendar years: 1994-5 - routes within Travelcard Zone 4 boundary 1996-7 - ditto (except East London Line, closed until early 1998) 1998 - East London 1999-2000 - routes within Travelcard Zone 6 boundary, plus routes out to the M25 (eg. Staines/Purfleet/Radlett/Woldingham) that summer 2008-9 - all stations within Travelcard Zone 6 boundary, plus Zones 7, 8, 9. Additionally, 32 out of 40 stations out to the M25 done as of 17/6/09. |

I have done most of the tube network in terms of riding the lines. Haven't done the Chesham branch. I certainly can't claim to have visited every LU station but I have done a decent proportion of them. Some of them I even helped design - beat that then! I have done all of Tramlink but not every stop individually. *Same for DLR barring very recent track changes in one or two places.

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")? If we're allowing just passing through, then I've done every LU and DLR station. I've done some of the odd bits (e.g. the Watford North curve) on tours. Of the closed LU network, I've done Quainton Road, Verney Junction (by train, not just on foot), and the Ongar and Aldwych branches (on the same day). I've certainly done most of the rail network within the Travelcard area, though I can't swear I've done every last section without digging out notes that I can't be bothered to right now. I've done all of Tramlink except going into the depot. I don't track bus usage. -- Clive D.W.

The old line was never navigable all the way to Borough, and has "recently" been cut through by the Jubilee Line. The only bit that's continuous is the section I suggested (but last time I was there a wall interrupted it approximately on the line of the southern bank of the Thames). -- Roland Perry |
