Thinking again about going to London and riding all the lines with pre 2000 tube stock before the new the new trains are rolled out in 2025.
@sosh Bakerloo, Central, Jubilee, Northern, and Picadilly, from what I can see. Trying to work out if I can do at least one leg of the whole route of each line. :3
@renbymon If you're there on a weekday, there's also the Waterloo & City line, which is almost worth riding on for just how weird it is as a line. Weekend services still haven't come back since the pandemic though.
@renbymon this sounds like a cool day out. Not gonna lie.
As long as we get to go back snd ride the new ones afterwards…
@feliciarabbiton Assuming some of the longest trips on each line (Epping to West Ruislip, for example) it'd come to somewhere between 8 or 9 hours (7 hours 44 minutes if you never have to wait). That would get all five lines in with some bus journeys and a trip from Morden to Startford using the Croydon Tram, the Overground, and the Elizabeth line.
@feliciarabbiton Epping to West Ruislip on the Central Line.
West Ruislip to Uxbridge via Bus.
Uxbridge to Cockfosters on the Picadilly line.
Cockfosters to High Barnet via Bus.
High Barnet to Morden via the Northern line.
Morden to Stratford via Croydon Tram to West Croydon, Overground to Whitechapel, Elizabeth Line to Stratford.
Stratford to Stanmore via the Jubilee line.
Stanmore to Harrow & Wealdstone via bus.
Harrow & Wealdstone to Elephant & Castle via the Bakerloo line.
@feliciarabbiton I'd have liked to put the DLR in too but that may be a bit too much.
@renbymon Honestly, that would be a nice day out. :)
@renbymon It’s a shame that I’ve had to cancel my planned trip to the London area this Xmas.
I had a bunch of rail and tube stuff planned to do :(
@kootenay *hug!* Maybe next year? :)
@renbymon That's basically all of them apart from the subsurface lines and the Jubilee :o
