- boudin 4y agoSince it's a train in which you can walk from the last to the first carriage, he counted it as walking by walking the train while the train was going between Moorgate and Barbican. I guess technically it is walking and being underground.
- carnitine 4y agoI can walk from Paddington to Canary Wharf underground if I’m allowed to pace up and down the train.
- petercooper 4y agoI could walk from London to New York if the stewards weren't so touchy during take offs and landing.
- LadyCailin 4y agoYou could still do it if you define walking as “moving your feet constantly”, who cares about word definitions anymore.
- simonh 4y agoApparently that’s ok, but using a lift is resorting to mechanical means. Riiiight.

- mafro 4y agoIt was a fun read for someone who used to live in London. > It's taken 20 minutes to get here via seven escalators, two staircases, one ambulatory train ride and one lift. You may quibble that the train ride was a cheat and that a couple of bits weren't technically below ground, but you can't argue with the extraordinariness of such a long artificial subterranean connection.
