How?
Let’s use the Victoria Line as our example. We “touched-in” with our Oyster cards at Brixton then turned around and ran back up the steps to the street. Then we ran to every Victoria Line Tube stop on our way overland to Walthamstow Central where we leant over the barriers and “touched-out” so we’ve got a record of the journey. That one was around 15 miles.
There are 12 Tube lines and we’re spreading them out over the year. Aiming to finish with an open event along the 1.5 miles of the Waterloo & City Line in August.
