    I think this is much more impressive then regular talent shows participants, since three amount of combinations is not possible to remember by heart each, but rather visualise the tube map as a whole to track down the fastest way.

      There is a lot which can be done to simplify the memorisation process though. For example, many stations exist just on the ends of a line, beyond any interchanges. So you can model them in your head as one station with many names, if that makes sense.

    I tried this out too by pausing the video after each question - it was so fun!
    However, I am slightly confused by this. One, the criterion is that the “quickest route” is the one with the fewest changes, not necessarily the fewest stops (which would be better). Two, based on this rule, Jay’s final answer was actually incorrect - for the fewest changes, you should take the Northern Line to Waterloo or London Bridge and change for the Jubilee line to Swiss Cottage.

    • @Sp4wnEffect
      @Sp4wnEffect ปีที่แล้ว +64

    • @acmenipponair
      @acmenipponair ปีที่แล้ว +85

      Often it's better to use a route with more stops instead of one transfer more, as you can always have the problem that you miss the tube by 1-2 minutes and then have to wait for 3-7 minutes, also transfer at many stations will take another one to three minutes often, which is compareable to one to two stops more just staying on the train.

    • @hairyairey
      @hairyairey ปีที่แล้ว +8

      The last one would have been quicker as it involves fewer stops and probably a quicker change. There are several stations where you wouldn't want to change trains due to the walking distance involved. Don't if there is a nearby solution.

    • @amitbasu8159
      @amitbasu8159 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      I live near Swiss Cottage Station. While you are correct about it requiring just the one change by taklng the Northern Line to Waterloo or London Bridge, no-one would ever do that as in terms of time the journey is far longer overall - far more stations involved, and also a long walk between platforms, particularly if you change at London Bridge. In practice you would either take Jay's route or do the second change at Baker Street. Or better still, take the Northern Line to Euston, then one stop on the Overground to South Hampstead, then walk about to Swiss Cottage station, which is about 200m away.

    • @ChristianConrad
      @ChristianConrad 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You could even say it's up to four lines, since besides the fork in the North-East you have the varying stops in the South-West. But I guess it's really max three -- or still only two -- isn't it? Which is a weird result from two times two, but I'm guessing with every other traing going left and every other right at Itis, and every other stopping at Tapiola and every other going on to Kivenlahti, you get just Myllyäki - Kivenlahti and Vuosaari - Tapiola. Or if it's the other way around, Idunno.

      True. As a fan of Jay, the song bit felt a bit jarring. But it was Mulhern's show and he was the one getting paid to entertain the audience. I think Jay knew his place and just rolled with it. He also looked like he knew he'd just walked right into an old, cheap comedy trick! 😂 All just a bit of fun at the end of the day.

    I thought he'd made a mistake at 3:41 because that's the Jubilee line, not the Bakerloo... but looks like in fact the producers of the programme have mysteriously transposed Kenton to Wembley Park on their map, and Jay was of course correct.
