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".

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

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 :-)

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

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:

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

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!

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.

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.
