One of the things I enjoy most about my latest challenge – to run the length of every Tube line in London – is its simplicity. And part of that is the low running cost (note the pun).
Thus I present to you today the expedition budget for a typical day spent running the length of a London Underground train line:
-
- Transport to/from start: Bicycle – Free
- Transport back to start from end: Tube – Free (courtesy of Transport For London)
- Hydration: Tap water – Free
- Nutrition: 1 pack fig rolls – 45p
- Toileting: Public, typically at train stations – 30p or free
- Equipment: Old running shoes and lycra from cupboard – Free
- Navigation (Maps): TFL Cycle Guides – Free
- Navigation (Satellite): GPS feature on phone – Free
- Comms: Mobile phone text messages to Twitter - Free
- Food consumed upon returning to the house: Incalculable
