Geoff: You do have the presenting skills to make weird little discoveries like this a fascinating watch. This is why you NEED to do a piece on Britain's longest level crossing at Helpston, north of Peterborough. Six lines to cross, including the ECML and 70-metres between the gates. And there are two crossings within half a mile. Nobody's ever done it justice. You are the man!

I suppose it's possible to enter at Farringdon, walk to the Barbican exit and leave, and pay TFL £2.50 for the privilege of waking in their tunnels...

[@apuldram]

I managed that at Paddington! Wanting to see the Westbound purple line platforms, I entered at the concourse end and thought that there was some direct connection to the H&C. There isn’t, £2.50. Capping eventually covered my error😅

I just love this kind of nerdy, OCD level, videos !

[@metropod]

We’ve been able to do something like this in Midtown Manhattan for about a year now. The #7 subway line now stops twice within one massive paid area. You could enter the subway at Times Square, walk through the connecting tunnels to the #7 platforms at Fifth Avenue-Bryant Park, then ride the 7 the one stop back to Times Square and repeat the loop. When they rebuilt the 42nd street shuttle platform at Times Square, they added a connection to the Bryant Park station one block east, resulting in a super station that connects the A, B, C, D, E, F, M, N, Q, R, W, 1, 2, 3, 7(twice) and 42nd street shuttle trains within one massive fare control. The only caveat is the new connection between the two stations is only open 42nd street shuttle is running.

[@firesurfer]

I tell people to just go outside and walk. It's quicker than going up and down stairs. The only time it's better is when the weather is bad outside.

[@joebonthuys]

Never been more confused using trains then I was using the NYC subway 🤯🤯

[@DavidNightjet]

PABT is also connected to this. So you can walk from Port Authority all the way to Bryant Park without ever getting rained on. Which is around half the width of Manhattan at that point. Only downside: $2.75 for that creature comfort. Also that loop that you described takes 10 minutes to complete 1 lap. So if you want to get a bit of a workout in during your lunch break in Manhattan, that's a good way to do it.

[@harrisonsnazel7482]

That is really handy for the loop between Farringdon and barbican. I now don't have to wait for the sub surface trains. Thanks geoff for making this video

[@Mergatroid]

This reminds me a lot of Chicago's longest subway platform (which I believe is still the longest subway platform in the world) that holds 3 stations. It's all open so you can walk the whole length of it, while the trains stop at 3 different stations along it.

[@rousedg]

The quickest way from Heathrow to Brighton-bound destinations like East Croydon and Gatwick airport is to come through Farringdon - but instead of taking the escalators to the ticketing hall then back down to the southbound platform, take the lift at the eastern end of the Purp platform (instead of the escalators) up one level then you’re there on the southbound platform. Much faster.

This kinda reminds me of the RER Station Chatelet-Les Halles in Paris. The Station is long enough to literally walk between two Line 4 stations. If I remember correctly there's a video by the Ferrovipathe explaining this. Btw, great video as always!

[@JonniePolyester]

Cheers Geoff - just done the shortcut at Dean St end of Tottenham Ct Rd. 👍… just a few EL points: at Paddington you can walk to the District & Circle without having going out of the station ( and get charged) but very convoluted by following Bakerloo line signs from EL. Also with new lifts you can press the door close button rather than having to wait. Oh and Canary Wharf EL doesnt really connect with Jubilee line esp with elderly parents.

The “Infinite Loop Challenge” is the new tube challenge. Yay 😀

[@stephenholt4670]

I'm actually trying to work out in my head what the definition of the "infinite loop" is. Obviously there are lots of ways to arrive back at the same station by taking train loops, e.g. Oxford Circus - Piccadilly Circus - Green Park - Oxford Circus. Or Bank - Monument (via the tunnels) - Liverpool Street - Bank. Maybe the goal is to use just one train though? In which case Hatton Cross - Hatton Cross around the Heathrow loop...

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

@@stephenholt4670 It’s an “infinite” conundrum 🥴

[@ajs41]

It's a shame the Barbican exit of the Elizabeth Line doesn't deposit you (via steps, escalators or lift) on the walkways of the Barbican complex, because then you could pretty much walk along those walkways to Moorgate station. That would mean you could walk from Farringdon to Liverpool Street using just tunnels, walkways, lifts, escalators, steps, stairs, etc. No walking along at street level at all, apart from perhaps a few seconds at Moorgate. Unfortunately, as it is, you have to walk about a quarter of a mile along the pavement from the Barbican Purple Train exit to where Barbican tube station and the Barbican complex walkways are.

[@kueller917]

My first entry into the new Crossrail stations after leaving St. Pancras was through that side Barbican entrance. Probably the least glamorous way to walk into the new stations but I really wanted to see Barbican while I was at it since it's a pretty open-air station.

[@EomerGames]

I chortle when I think of how some of these scenes were shot; you walked along, put your camera down, walked back to where you started, walked past the camera, then ran back to the camera and picked it up, then walked on and repeated it, just so you could get the scenes of you walking along :P

This same thing is possible in the Paris Haussmann-Saint-Lazare complex, where 5 different metro statyion and two mainline stations are connected underground, and you can actually take line 3 from Opera to Saint-Lazare (2 stations, via Have Caumartin, which is also connected) and walk back.

[@BeHappyWithUrLife]

This my man deserves a like. I have a freedom pass due to 5 slipped discs, but I recon I could get far on this infinite loop.

[@oysterfarescentral]

To anyone thinking of trying this, bear in mind that you haven't got 2 hours. If you enter and exit at different stations then you've got 90 minutes weekday daytimes, rising to 110 minutes on Sundays. If you exit at the same station as you entered you've only go 30 minutes at any time. Exceed either limit and you'll be charged for 2 maximum journeys.

[@artursdobrecovs]

100 minutes after 7pm on a weekday or all day on Saturday though.

only if you are doing this using an Oystercard I should imagine. People in London forget that other people exist and maybe using a travelcard for tube travel.

I doubt if anything happens

[@oysterfarescentral]

@@danteshydratshirt2360 Yes of course, if you have a day travelcard you can carry on going round in circles until 4.30am the next day (or until they close the station). I can assure you that it's not only Londoners that use PAYG though.

[@yellowbird8690]

It is possible to do a loop where I live in Maidenhead. You get on a train at Furze Platt. Travel to Bourne End. Get on the number 37 bus and travel all the way back to Furze Platt. Would take a little longer than your Farringdon Loop, but it is a lot more scenic.

[@chriswood5205]

Surely if you do this on an Oyster (or contactless) card, the system is going to count it as a same station exit. In which case if you take more than 30 minutes, it is going to sting you for two maximum fares. Unless of course TfL has equipped Barbican with pink card readers just for Geoff and his viewers.

[@orientalmoons]

I was thinking the same. You'd have to exit from the other station so you'd have to do a half loop at the end.

Actually, the word "escalator" came before the verb "to escalate". It's related to French "escalier", a staircase. "To escalate" first gained currency during my life-time. I remember thinking that the choice of meaning for the verb was a bit silly, as escalators go down as well as up.

In Bucharest, we have something really similar. The M1 Metro line starts at the Dristor station and loops around the city before passing through Dristor again en route to the Republica station.

Oval to Camden Town via Bank which too is 11 stops; or 3. Oval to Euston, Euston to Camden Town so you skip Mornington Crescent, and therefore, you complete one less stop.
