2017 Christmas Special // 16 Lines Challenge Part 1 // Plus Announcement

[@danteshydratshirt2360]

Im finding these 2 videos are like comfort food - just...nice for want of a better word - probably have watched them 6 times now. Thanks to everyone involved

[@seanawood1988]

Glad to see you back, Andy! Was worrying and wondering about where you’d got to! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

[@stephendavies923]

Having re-watched Geoff's race with you and Victoria to the Elephant I came across this challenge. Excellent! Now for part 2.

[@harveydee9115]

I love it. Brilliant challenge Calling all stations

[@learyobrioche9378]

Just thought. Wouldn't it be amazing to have a : CAS v ATheS challenge special one day 😀😀

[@stefanocoppo3949]

they've done it

[@brayand8022]

Leary O'Brioche twice! Here are the links:kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXK5Y4uhhatmlaM kzbin.info/www/bejne/iny6ipdvf5qJnLs these are from Geoff Marshall.

[@keithparker1346]

2023 and an updated challenge including the Elizabeth line would be nice. Id rule out the "dangle"as i think it incurs extra cost, though it does add a bottleneck

[@Vocalzone_covers]

Found this channel via Geoff marshal. Very enjoyable. Bet Geoff would have loved to be a part of this challenge .

[@JVerschueren]

Really curious to know what the optimal way of doing this would be and if either starting position had an inherent advantage.

[@learyobrioche9378]

This is : Calling All Stations at it's very best. Sad you can't post much. But very understandable. Hope you're happy, and well, and settled soon. This however, is my own : Doctor Who special. I loved it. Thanks. And can't wait for more, when you can... ☺️

[@CallingAllStations]

Thanks Leary, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@martinclitheroe]

I absolutely love this! Why hasn't anybody thought about it before. Would be interested to see timings when it's finished so others (myself included!) can have a go ourselves

[@skyblazeeterno]

I agree this looks quite interesting to actually attempt myself at one point - of course I wonder how much time would be needed. hopefully find out in part 2

[@TravelJackJourneys158]

I like it I can't wait to part 2

[@Sim0nTrains]

It's a great video, cannot wait for part 2 and wish you all the best with your new job and house moving

[@CallingAllStations]

Thanks Simon!

[@harryelliott4310]

All Lines Challenge

[@Alfie-cu4np]

I like these kind of challenges because they are very intriguing

[@jamessmith6402]

Great video 👍 more please 👍

[@trainspotter930]

How did you manage to go on a day where all of the lines were running perfectly

[@takemeaway285]

If I was Andy... Quick to and fro on the tram, OG back to Canada Water, Jubilee to London Bridge, Northern to Bank, W+City to Waterloo, Jubilee to Westminster, District to Embankment, Bakerloo to Piccadilly Circus, Piccadilly to Green Park, Victoria to Oxford Circus, Central to Bond Street. RUN. Great fun Christmas vid, thanks team!!

[@norbitonflyer5625]

They Could do better than that, as they've already done the Jubilee (twice) OG to Whitechapel, District to Monument, W&C, Northern to Embankment, then as you suggest. Or why not tram to East Croydon, and then a fast train into Victoria to mop up the remaining Tube lines: District, South Ken, Picc, Green park, Vic, Oxford Circus, Central, Bank, W&C, Waterloo, Northern, Embankment, Bakerloo to end at Oxford Circus.

[@takemeaway285]

Norbiton Flyer Nice. I knew there had to be a better way. I'd like to have a go at this myself. I do enjoy a pointless challenge.

[@norbitonflyer5625]

How about this? Victoria - fast train to East Croydon - Tramlink to West Croydon - Overground to Canada Water - Jubilee to North Greenwich - cablecar to Royal Vic - DLR to Stratford - TfL Rail to Liverpool Street - Central to Bank - W&C to Waterloo - Bakerloo to Embankment - District to Monument - Northern to Moorgate - Circle H&C Met (one stop each, any order) to Kings Cross - Picc to Caledonian Road and back to Kings Cross. (If starting at Kings Cross, do the route in reverse, ending at Victoria) Finally, from either KX or Victoria, Victoria Line to Oxford Circus for BBC

[@bockersjv]

All the best for 2018. BTW has anyone ever told you that you are the voice twin of Mark Kermode!

[@plxnetmxrs2243]

David is hilarious!!

[@danteshydratshirt2360]

I think his "until they open the David line" is just funny

[@oliverbrelsford5472]

"The Dangle". Brilliant

[@jamesg5276]

Excellent challenge! Can't wait to see Part 2 :)

[@RightAscension]

I actually did this accidentally when i first got to london trying to get to surrey in 1991 - to the guards depot in pirbright for a map reading course (yes i failed the course but they at least arranged a taxi for me back to euston!)

[@XXamazing_editsxx]

David and Victoria went on the Northern line 3 times

[@simonprice8737]

All the best you take care and get everything sorted.....

[@S404_44]

Thameslink is very fast to and from Croydon so why don't do the Overground another time

[@rickyzuc]

I hate Canning Town, for someone who likes to think he knows the tube inside out I got lost there for about 10 minutes a few months back. This is a insanely good idea for a video. I reckon Andy will edge the win...

[@CallingAllStations]

Maybe because I was distracted but I'm sure the signs didn't match the escalators. Perhaps some are reversible for crowd flow control?

[@cycklist]

What a fun challenge!

[@Ethan-ik1nm]

I don't really go to canning town, it looks like hell. Great video, good idea

[@CallingAllStations]

I think they have reversible escalators to manage crowd flow, but they don't always match up with the signs

[@RandomPerson00998]

Personally, if I was on Team Andy, I'd say they missed a trick by not getting the Northern and Victoria lines knocked out around Brixton/Stockwell. I'd've got the Overground to Denmark Hill, transferred onto a bus to Brixton and done the trams and reduce the tram distance to Merton Park to Wimbledon. It'll be interesting to see who wins though :D

Taking the Emirates air line is a sacrilege.

[@dawoodfaiz-mahdavi9412]

andy carter, lovely to see you running, from green park to charing cross, and going to northern line, i am sure, you have lost a stones in weight, by running, to reach in elephant 7castle? with jeff, and carol, lovely to see you?

[@airplaneplustrainguy8143]

Why Geoff Marshall and Vicki is not here? This is maybe the best collab video Please

[@benjeffery1415]

Why do all tube YT Channels have someone called Victoria?

[@CallingAllStations]

Ben Jeffery law

[@ctrsecurity]

I would like you to do this much more

[@davidpittard474]

Vitoria and David I was also on your tram in the video

[@rogervaughan6831]

Nail biting stuff

[@diesel1668]

Here's what I would've done/would do if I were Andy. Jubilee to London Bridge, Northern to Balham, Southern to Mitcham Junction, Trams to Wimbledon, District to West Brompton, Overground to Willesden Junction, Bakerloo to Baker Street, Metropolitan to Great Portland Street, Hammersmith and City to King's Cross (or vice versa), Piccadilly to Holborn, Central to Bank, Waterloo and City to Waterloo, Northern to Embankment, Circle to Victoria, Victoria to Oxford Circus

[@CallingAllStations]

DLR, TfL Rail, Cable Car?....

[@diesel1668]

Calling All Stations, sorry meant to say that's what I would've done if I were you having done the cable car, I would've followed what you did before then.

[@markc8956]

Dalmally is two stops from me!!! (Taynuilt is my home station)

[@CallingAllStations]

Beautiful part of the world!

[@norbitonflyer5625]

"Part II coming New Year's Day 2018"Now ten hours overdue - is there a problem? EDIT: Found it now kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqvEdItndrSdeqM

[@StayceeP]

Go on Docklands Light Railway

[@aidanrecker4194]

Andy starting at Kings Cross is like cheating because there are more lines that stop there than at Victoria.

[@danteshydratshirt2360]

yes but I think the core problem was Victoria and David headed to Wimbledon to do the tram and not getting the cable car out the way early too. To me seems like theres too much to-ing and fro-ing in their choices. Im wondering how quick this can be done theoretically Id imagine Andy and Ivans route is pretty close to a theoretical fastest time. Their choices seemed efficient. Anyway a good video

[@StayceeP]

OK 1 line done

[@TheGloryHunter4467]

It should be pure tube not tfl rail or trams

[@marksmith334]

She has great eyes

[@skyblazeeterno]

16 lines all% set seed glitchless
