Walking the TfL map update - 9 February

I made some progress on 3 lines today.

First up was a walk to Hackney Central and then on to Stratford.

Then a little wriggle to Stratford International station where I followed the DLR.

After that, a walk to Abbey Wood where I made a start on the Elizabeth line.

Here’s what the map is looking like now:

Walthamstow Central to Chingford

This was one of the shorter walks so far, going from Walthamstow Central, to Wood Street, Highams Park and on to Chingford and then back to ‘Stow.

The updated map:

I've now ticked off the end of the line to Chingford

And finally, the walk home (via Tesco for provisions, obv.)

Walking the tube update

An update on my walks along the route of the tube. The map below shows what I’ve covered so far.

Rather dauntingly, it also shows all the bits I haven’t walked yet.

A TfL map showing parts of the London Overground, the Victoria line and the north-eastern end of the Central line highlighted.

Some of the map will be completely impractical to do (for example, unless you go way out of your way, it’s difficult to cross the eastern end of the Thames on foot), but I want to see how much I can cover before I get bored or my legs fall off.

2 February update: I made a start on the London Overground today. First Walthamstow Queens Road to Gospel Oak on the Goblin line, then Gospel Oak round to Hackney Central. After that, I flipped over to Hackney Downs and back to Walthamstow Central.

On Monday I walked the length of the London Underground’s Victoria line.

This was the first stop.

Follow the rest of my walk on my Mastodon.

Watch a video with photos from the walk.

Happy 2023! Using Sunlit to test uploading video of the fireworks over my little corner of north east London. #HappyNewYear 🎆🎇

Apple really need to learn a thing or two about sharing from Spotify.

Replay is Apple’s take on Spotify’s Wrapped, but the only way I could figure out how to share mine was to do a screen record.

Anyway, here it is:

This is a test to see whether Sunlit is correctly saving my alt text.

Oh blimey. #spurs ⚽️

Alt: Spurs defending a free kick.

Alt: sign outside a pub saying ‘kick off times: Leeds 3pm, spurs 4pm’

I always love the look of this old curry house that I go past on my commute to the office.

Alt text, because I’m not sure the Sunlit app is correctly saving them: A grubby old curry house standing alone. The old fashioned shades on the two upstairs windows give the building the look of a face.

Is there a German word for that mixed up feelings of delight watching a company blow up in a egotist’s face, and sadness thinking about the poor employees?

Checked out Bond Street on the Elizabeth line, innit. 🚇
