    I did that but I chucked in an extra "Waterloo International" but my rules were as followed "Leave by national rail or tube and arrive by national rail or tube".

    72 Stock are well known for opening their doors before the train stops, I almost fell out of one a few times when I was a little kid on a crowded service.

    This would be interesting if you visited all 18 of them in alphabetical order, which would give you Blackfriars, Cannon Street, Charing Cross, City Thameslink, Euston, Fenchurch Street, Kings Cross, Liverpool Street, London Bridge, Marylebone, Moorgate, Old Street, Paddington, St Pancras, Vauxhall, Victoria, Waterloo and Waterloo East.

    Really enjoyed this video. I think this would definitely be a good ‘alternative tube challenge’ to try and complete in the fastest time, although possibly with the rule of having to arrive or depart on a train that terminates there to save disagreements over what counts as artwork. Would also make it a lot harder for stations like St Pancras where most trains are long-distance, or Blackfriars where terminating services aren’t that regular.

    I believe that it is wrong for you to have excluded Moorgate. No rule states that a Terminus has to be above ground. Just because it isn't as busy as any of the others does not mean that it isn't a place in London where trains come from outside of London to terminate; making it definitionally a terminus.

      @@Ro99I believe those are the codes to point the user to a specific entrance, so being on the lintel is basically a necessity (or else on the floor?). There’ll be other ones at other heights on the walls.
      I saw a video of someone trying it out and her phone clicked and read things out 3 or 4 times every time she moved it just a little bit, indicating there were codes absolutely everywhere. Some will be smaller than others.
