2017 Christmas Special // 16 Lines Challenge Part 2

[@6.tatertots]

"We could've picked any of the stations on the Waterloo & City Line to do but we settled on these two" 😂😂

[@moose_ringo9161]

The editing on this just brilliant

[@chrisoddy8744]

This one works best after Crossrail Core opens - whenever that is. Also note I am not a Londoner, so some of these interchanges might be dubious/a waste of time. King's X - Farringdon - Barbican - Moorgate (Met/H+C/Circle) (3/16) -> Crossrail platforms at Liverpool Street (walk) -> Custom House (Xrail) (4/16) -> Royal Victoria (DLR) (5/16) -> Dangleway (6/16) -> Canary Wharf (Jubilee) (7/16) -> walk to Heron Quay -> Lewisham (DLR) -> Mid-Kent Line to Elmers End -> Tramlink to East Croydon (8/18) -> train to Clapham Junction -> Overground to West Brompton (9/16) -> Earl's Court (District) (10/16) -> Green Park (Picc) (11/16) -> Oxford Circus (Vic) (12/16) -> Bank (Central) (13/16) -> Waterloo (W+C) (14/16) -> Embankment/Charing X (Northern) (15/16) -> Oxford Circus and FINISH (Bakerloo) (16/16)

Victoria -> Vauxhall (1/16) -> Wimbledon -> Tram doubleback (2/16) -> Clapham Junction -> West Brompton (3/16) -> Earl's Court (4/16) -> Piccadilly Circus (5/16) -> Waterloo (6/16) -> Bank (7/16) -> London Bridge (8/16) -> North Greenwich (9/16) -> Royal Victoria (10/16) -> Canning Town (11/16) -> Stratford -> Liverpool Street (12/16) -> Barbican (13/16) -> Moorgate (14/16) -> Liverpool Street (15/16) -> Oxford Circus (16/16). Great challenge!! Jealous that the wheels of All The Buses turn more slowly but I have a few challenge ideas...

[@DavidShepheard]

Nice route!

[@ThePeterjcgoodchild]

Fantastic challenge! Just done it in 3.16 but no Waterloo and city- we did northern city to compensate. Really hard to do the trams efficiently!

[@stephendavies923]

Loved it. I did think team Victoria was going to win after part one though. What a great idea and challenge. Thank you.

[@learyobrioche9378]

Brilliant video. Would love to see this challenge: Calling All Stations v All the Stations. Now that would be a treat. Cracking videos : Andy and Victoria . Love them. Hope you can come back, when you can :-):-):-)

[@irenec4876]

Leary O'Brioche I would also love to see Andy and Victoria vs Geoff and Vicki at the 16 lines

[@rjc83x]

Well done team and thanks for including the shot where you can see directly up my nose at the very end. Happy 2018!

[@CallingAllStations]

RadioRobby thought you’d enjoy that 👍

[@davidvines8141]

Really enjoyed these videos. Good luck with your life changes in 2018 and look forward to seeing you again as and when.

[@milsteadonmovies]

OMG! I work in North Greenwich now and that park which Team Victoria walk past is now a building site

[@OltonHall]

Brilliant challenge videos. Loved the editing.

[@davekirwin]

I picked the right team! Well done Andy and all the gang, most entertaining to watch.

[@shawng8613]

Fantastic! More please. 😀

[@davidclements7141]

Enjoyed, 'Happy 2021'. 👍

[@oliverbrelsford5472]

Would love to see a CAS (Calling All Stations) vs. ATS (All The Stations) version of this...

[@jerryallen34]

Very very enjoyable and I hope you’re not gone for too long! Good luck with everything and look forward to your return. Cheers from Africa, Jerry

[@Ethan-ik1nm]

Happy new year! Great video. I'd love to see this against next year. The last bit was great!

[@griffinfamily143]

You should have taken national rail between new cross gate and Croydon

[@Sim0nTrains]

I thought what the hell I watch it on my break while working, this second part was very good indeed! really wanted Andy to win this! :)

[@105Gunner]

Nicely done team. Looking forward to more in 2018!

[@awaytoanywhere699]

so I have done som research. you can do a similar thing in Copenhagen where I come from, which will include (since CPH is smaller than London) 7 different s-trains (red commuter trains), 2 different underground lines (white trains) 3 different Ic trains, (regional, national and trains to Sweden) 5 different types of busses (a, c, e, s and regular busses) and finally 1 harbour bus-boat --------- a total of 18 rides - all of which should be possible to ride within the inner city! Gotta try this out in the near future!!

[@CallingAllStations]

good luck!

[@skyblazeeterno]

with a route worked out I think I could do this on a visit to London

[@DavidShepheard]

I was saving this, and it is brilliant! Glad I didn't have to wait for Part 2. I love the bits when you are both in the same station. I was looking to see if one team would bump into the other team. I'll echo the people who suggested doing the #16LinesChallenge against #AllTheStations, but would like to see you keep #16LinesTeamAndy and #16LinesTeamVictoria, so that there were three teams all trying to beat each other.

[@pgchase4578043026]

Andy: Best wishes & be back soon!

Lol at the squeaky chair table

[@greek9244]

11:34 that’s so cuteeee🥺

[@hiltopuk]

Excellent production, very entertaining :)

[@ellenkingsley]

I'm definitely going to do this travel all 17 lines when the Elizabeth Line comes into the fold

[@CallingAllStations]

ellenkingsley it’ll still be 16 as it’ll replace tfl rail but will add a new dimension to the challenge!

[@stefanocoppo3949]

@@CallingAllStations will make it easier though because tfl rail only in the east- crossrail alll london

[@stephenallmond67]

Stefano Coppo it’s in now both east and west as it took over GWR And Heathrow connect a couple of years ago it’ll be running east/south to west through the centre when the core opens up around 2021 hopefully

[@jamessmith6402]

Excellent stuff 👍 hope you all have a great 2018 😘

[@harshilpatel684]

Could have perhaps used the waterloo and city line to go from bank to the jubilee line at Waterloo instead of London Bridge. Also I think the best option for the tram was taking fast trains to and from Wimbledon from Waterloo and taking the district at some other point for a stop or two in the city.

[@EthanAfro707]

Victoria, NR to East Croydon Tramlink to West Croydon 1/16, LO to Canada Water 2/16, Jubille to North Greenwich 3/16, Cable Car 4/16, DLR to Stratford 5/16, TfL Rail to Liv St 6/16, Central to Bank 7/16, W&C to Waterloo 8/16, NR to Vauxhall, Victoria Line to Victoria 9/16, District/Circle to South Kensington 11/16, Piccadilly to Leicester Square 12/16, Northern Line to Euston 13/16, OSI to Euston Square, H&C/Met Lines to Baker Street 15/16, Bakerloo to Oxford Circus 16/16

[@GaryGMW]

Great challenge.Happy New Year!!!

[@richardtalbot8769]

Good trip, I am surprised you guys didn’t use national rail a bit more the hispeed to Stratford int gets you out east in 7 mins. Plus the circular route from kings cross to Moorgate and back gets rid of 4 lines in quick succession. Lo is a really slow line so is there scope for cally road to cally road to Highbury

[@XXamazing_editsxx]

So if you both started at King’s cross get the Piccadilly line to Caledonian Road get overground Caledonian Road barnsbuy get Victoria line to Euston then get circle or H&C to Great Portland Street then metropolitan to Finchley Road then jubilee to Baker Street than bakerloo to Charing Cross than national rail to London Bridge then jubilee to North Greenwich than cable car to royal Victoria then DLR to limehouse national rail to fenchurch Street then district to Mile End then central to bank W&C to Waterloo get national rail to Putney walk to Putney Bridge then district to Wimbledon then tram to dundonald road back to Wimbledon then national rail to Clapham junction then overground to West Brompton then district to Paddington then tfl rail to Ealing Broadway then central line to Oxford Circus.

[@harryelliott4310]

All Lines Challenge

[@hikaru-live]

Try this in Shanghai maybe? We have 16 lines too, and we have some particularly difficult lines to deal with.

[@chrisporter7872]

Loved the video and the challenge sadly is can't happen again due to there being 2 sections of TfL Rail now and soon in December 2018 the Elizabeth Line starts. So come next year it may all change.

[@CallingAllStations]

Chris Porter there’ll still be 16 lines, it just means there’s more opportunity to take crossrail.. may add a new dimension to the challenge

[@chrisporter7872]

It turns out now that Elizabeth Line will not start at Christmas but we do have 2 TfL rail lines.

[@paulhooker1612]

Great video keep doing more just discovered you

[@stefanocoppo3949]

8:55 TeamVictoria stop getting the Northern line!It's counterproductive

[@TravelJackJourneys158]

I enjoy it Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy New Year

[@mattjennings4750]

From Stockwell you could of taken the Northern Line to South Wimbledon then either a 7 minute walk or the 93 bus to Morden Road tram stop and made your way to Wimbledon

[@danbob2109]

Great video, thanks :)

[@eastlondontransport6468]

Great video but what I don’t understand is from Canada Water why did you head all the way to West Croydon just to get Tramlink weren’t there a easier option

[@Alan_Mac]

Really enjoyed this pair of videos. Question. Do other cities with large subway systems (Moscow, Paris, Madrid, Seoul etc) have people doing such challenges or is this a London phenomenon?

[@CallingAllStations]

Alan Mac I’ve heard of people doing Subway Challenges in New York. Not sure about the others but I imagine so. Barcelona would be a fun one to do, they’ve got a cable car and some funiculars as part of their network...

[@OltonHall]

I so want to do a NYC one. I just need to find the people to participate some weekend.

[@CallingAllStations]

OltonHall yes! Would love to see a NY take on this. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t recall a key on the subway map so assuming you’d be doing all numbered/lettered services (including 6 and 7 diamonds) plus airtrain and Staten Island railroad?

[@OltonHall]

It would be all the numbers and letters. Diamonds are just the express version the regular trains so no difference there. I'd probably leave out SIRR as that is a massive 1 hour plus time killer just for one line. I would not bother with JFK airtrain strictly for cost reasons. Now that I think of it, that might make things interesting. I'd likely include PATH and have a requirement that teams must visit every Borough, except Staten Island, at some point. MTA NYCT does have a key of all the lines on the html version of the map.

[@davidrivera9743]

@@CallingAllStations yes. There are several variants I'd like to see in nyc: 1. The 22 lines of the nyc subway which have a unique station. 2. Add PATH, Staten Island Railway, Roosevelt Island tram, Airtrain to JFK to #1. 3. A Snake Challenge similar to the one suggested by the techandtrains101 folk.

[@ChrisCraftOfficial]

Me: WTF IS THE WATERLOO AND CITY AT BANK, VICTORIA&DAVID

[@stefanocoppo3949]

1:15 you should have got wloo&city to waterloo and then the jubilee-- wasted time on the northern ln

[@decstrains9325]

Great videos and I love your videos and they are cool 😎 also what is that station called at 12:32.

[@CallingAllStations]

Dec's Trains that’s Waterloo

[@decstrains9325]

Calling All Stations cool 😎 Thank You 👍

[@tomfiddle2555]

Yeh, it's Waterloo

[@stefanocoppo3949]

9:55 brilliant

[@mayabashova]

Where is Victoria channel

[@ctrsecurity]

David and Victoria do you know that you got on the same waterloo and city line as andy

[@PfhorShark]

What kind of rookies would change at bank!

[@agent_605]

No choice considering you have to do it on the W&C

[@dawndoherty1]

Instead of Kings Cross St Pancras and Victoria Liverpool Street and Waterloo

[@Sim0nTrains]

Also want to apologise about my comment I made on the first video saying 'all the Stations Christmas special was good but this was better' I was a bit out of line comparing the two and was stupid of me. So To All the Stations I sincere apologies

[@davidjewood]

Brilliant. Why haven’t I found this before? I’m worn out! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🚇

[@brayand8022]

One from kings cross

[@mohammedazizurrahman8348]

When did Vicky do Victoria Line

[@shad0w353]

She did it as the first line on the first part.

[@harveydee9115]

First! Only joking, awesome video. LOVED this challenge

[@awaytoanywhere699]

great video. what is the name of the tube map at 1:35? it has curved lines?

[@CallingAllStations]

Away To Anywhere the map is credited at the end of the video. It’s a free to use version from Creative Commons. Not strictly allowed to use the official one so that’s why I’ve used it.

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

I think Andy and Victoria should go from Kings Cross and Geoff And Vicki should go from Victoria at the begining of 2020.

[@stefanocoppo3949]

11:18 sorry mate...

[@flamegaming1846]

why is victoria always losing

[@danteshydratshirt2360]

I think its because she is more in a commuter mode of getting from A to B with minimal hassle which runs a little counter to this challenge where you need to to chop and change. She mentions it in the first video. Plus I think starting at Victoria makes going to Wimbledon to do the tram far more tempting but I think that is not the best choice time wise. You maybe pleased to know that Victoria does not lose in the video where Andy, Victoria and David race All The Stations Geoff Marshall Kings Cross/St Pancras to Stratford --- kzbin.info/www/bejne/mV6YXpapaN9mfKs
