But at least Kensington (Olympia) is marked as a District Line Tube station (albeit with limited service). Battersea Park isn't marked as a London Overground station even on the map of London's Rail & Tube Services.( www.projectmapping.co.uk/Reviews/Resources/london-rail-and-tube-servig.pdf )
Yes, it's just a convenience reversal point, if things get snarled up getting into Clapham Junction, although their are those early morning scheduled journeys. I've been into Battersea Park on an unscheduled Overground train at least 3 times now, and observed a 4th one going there at Denmark Hill, so it's quite common. Also Battesea Park has the advantage of the bay platform being right next door to the southbound through line out of Victoria, so anybody arriving at Battersea Park wanting Claoham Junction isn't stranded there for long!!
Technically LO service to/from Battersea Park is a ghost service like the Chiltern service from West Ealing since it's not advertised LO route and they run that to avoid line closure.
7:40 Geoff's face when he realizes that that this might take 12 hours, he looks almost broken. IMO, the "problem" with this challenge is that "Overground" seems to be a catch-all term for TfL services that consists of repurposed National rail lines. Unlike the DLR or Underground, expanding the Overground could be as simple as a penstroke by taking over another line with no need for the construction of new infrastructure, for example, the Thameslink London core. [I am aware it is likely WAY more complicated than that in reality]. Anyway, good effort Geoff. Another excellent video
There was talk of taking over ALL suburban services within the Greater London area, but they decided that would complicate things with the main line operators. It seems quite a good idea, like creating a proper S-Bahn network
Welp, I missed an award in school assembly that day because I ended up late in school because of the goblin line derailment. It really chose the wrong day to stop working...
@OutFoxingFoxysOrder It's clearly only a thing for very rural students because I have not a clue what you are talking about. Besides, I was only 20 minutes late anyway.
James Atkinson: To be fair, I think it would actually be literally impossible to do properly - at some point there probably would be stations that would open and/or close in the middle of you trying the challenge! If anyone wants to try that out though, feel free 😂
"You can take away our trains, but you can't take away our sense of humour." Nice one Geoff!!😂 (PS, I might have a go at that one soon, you've inspired me!!) I'm surprised you said you were getting the tube from Upminster to Barking though, c2c would have been quicker, just one stop!!
Really appreciate the amount of time you spend devising and editing videos for our enjoyment. Whether or not you got a good or complete time is mostly irrelevant: the video was still fun.
It wouldn't be a challenge at all on lines without branches (like the Victoria or Jubilee). The District, on the other hand... And specially because of the Olympia issue.
@@pokemonsuper9 One trick for that would be to do all the stuff that passes through Earls Court during the time that Olympia trains *should* be running. Then, the first time you see something going to Olympia, grab it, but have alternative plans ready. All the apps that are available should help too, taking some of the guesswork out of it. Annoying thing is though, you could be doing *really* well, then discover that the Olympia branch is closed all day. Tricky stuff. I'd love to try it but my health wouldn't let me run, or walk, between stations.
You should do All the stations Latvia, Geoff! Currently only 129 stations served, but one branch with 2 stations (Cesvaine and Gulbene) is served once a year (2020: September, 5th) and one with one station (Aglona)served once a year for a pilgrimage (date unknown). Also, the Madona and Liepāja branches are served only during weekends. Up for the challenge? :D
I hate to bring it to you Geoff, but there aren't many other people who wake up very early in the morning and think: "I wonder how long it will take to travel to all Overground stations". But then again, I love your craziness which is why I always watch your videos.
I felt bad when you said you had nothing at the end! You have an awesome youtube channel which is my total geeky guilty pleasure to watch.. Somehow you turn commuting around London into total happiness, oh and an awesome mrs which is way more than I have!
It's either the look of despair and realisation at the 7:40 mark that got me. Good stuff for even attempting to do this, I did enjoy the twelve minutes of this video.
At 11:29 the man in the background, his reaction to find out no trains to and from Upper Holloway to Barking or Gospel oak where Geoff just told the whole reason and travelled for 11 hours and four minutes just makes it sad for him.
Note to Grant Shapps: Now that you've put HS2 on the skids, get the East-West railway corridor from Felixstowe built (and electrified) so that the Overground doesn't have to share its routes with freight trains. That just isn't fair to the people who have to run this railway.
Ahh geoff good to see you down my old childhood area Balham. I spent many hours waiting on the overground or underground platforms back in the 1960's Marc in Bletchley Towers
I live on The Wirral and came down to Watford a couple of weeks ago for a football match. I could of got a direct train from Liverpool to Watford but because I watch all you’re videos I decided to go via Euston so I could have a ride on the overground on one those nice new orange trains for the first time from Euston to Watford. And I’m glad I did cos I thoroughly enjoyed it. Love your videos so keep up the good work 👍🏻
Ah really bad luck! Kudos for doing it, really enjoy these and your Londonist videos -living in Dublin, it makes me homesick for London! Thanks for imparting your knowledge and sharing your adventures and enthusiasm!

You're getting through all the challenges Geoff. The Queen ought to give you a Knighthood for this one. But what are we going to watch when there are none left? Mmmmm............Sir Geoff Marshall................sounds alright!
J Hearn I always see names like turkey street and it makes me laugh. As someone who lives out of London and visits, I rarely use the ginger lines and it doesn’t resonate in my head where the places are. It does make the map super busy, so (like the trams) I would prefer if they had their own map. We’re looking a bit like the Tokyo subway map now. But yes when I did have to use it (London fields for example) it was a good service
Ah man, I was gutted when you said the Gospel Oak - Barking line was closed. Better luck next time! I was thinking about doing it and starting off from Cheshunt, which is where I’m from - but I might have to tweak my plans to fit in the Battersea Park train. And yes, the H in *Cheshunt* is silent.
So much has changed over the years; (I now live in North Yorkshire and only make occasional visits to London’s railways). Before we moved away from South Lincolnshire In 2003, I payed more attention to the Tube and rode on as many old trains as I could before they were consigned to the scrapyard. One particularly route I found was the “East London Line”...sorry, delete “ly”...from Whitechapel, or Shoreditch, to New Cross/New cross gate.The stock in use was the same as the Metropolitan which was my favourite and I made countless journeys to Uxbridge, and even Chesham! Last summer I stayed with my friends in Grantham and we travelled down to London so I could sample some of the new trains currently in service...Oh, how Stratford has changed!!
I love the frequent on and off peak of London suburban rail service in Greater London, especially areas not served by the Underground. I wish New York City and Chicago would have this frequent service, especially areas of these cities not served by rapid transit, and frequent off peak service to inner suburbs
Christopher Luxford see Geoff's video on Londonist about three ladies who have visited every bus stop over five years, I believe th-cam.com/video/79PKxhsDNXk/w-d-xo.html
Me and my old man tried to do all the pre-May 2015 Overground network in as fast a time as possible, we ended up one station short, ironically with our closest station, West Croydon. We bailed for time reasons
It's the first really scary video from Geoff. I was sitting on the edge of my seat constantly asking myself the question "Will he make it? Will he perservere to the end?" Well, he did. A sigh of relief. Next challenge sould be either All the Bus Stops in the Greater London Area, or All the Airports in the EU
As the saying goes ... best laid plans and these things are sent to try us. However, big thumbs up and hope that you'll have another crack at it later on. Great video.
@@nathanw9770 AllTheStations US doesn't look that big of a project. Sure the distances are bigger but it looks like there are fewer stations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Amtrak_stations
@@patricescattolin43 Amtrak stations sure, but most of the commuter rail stations are part of mainline railways and therefore count too. Those would take ages to do especially since many of the stations are only served at rush hour in one direction, so it would take many days just to do the lines in one city.
It seems that, not only did a freight train derail, but it continued for two and a half miles, breaking track and smashing sleepers. It also hit bridges and took out track-side equipment. The line is estimated to be closed for two weeks although they haven't determined the full extent of the damage.
I once met Geoff and suggested 'alll the bus stops', which we agreed would be ludicrous. Seeing the struggle of this mission I'm glad that idea was not taken seriously, but this was a great effort nonetheless.
For some strange reason Geoff, I put some serious thought into remaing projects for you. The most common suggestions seem to be tram/metro systems but there's at least one excellent possibility in Scotland(a good excuse for another trip to Corrour, when's your anniversary?).You could try doing the Glasgow suburban network in the shortest possible time, including the Clockwork Orange. There are "tricky" stations and some possible weird "shortcuts" too. Timed carefully, you could finish at Helensburgh Central and catch the last train from Helensburgh Upper to Corrour. Just a thought, and maybe not as straightforward as you think, not all trains stop at all stations. A "Day Ranger" ticket *should* cover the whole thing. Cheers for now, Dougie.
You could've easily done it quicker, instead of going to wandsworth road you should've just gone straight towards Willesden and then going back stayed on to Clapham junction, southern takes 10 mins to east Croydon and then 5 min walk or tram to west Croydon.
You'll just have to start this challenge again, sometime Geoff... maybe even make a flash mob challenge out of it, so we can all help TfL afford Crossrail once this is all over! I'm sure you could plan all sorts of routes to have fun exploring...
