On Saturday, I did the Alphabet Challenge (http://www.explorerticket.co.uk/tubechallenge/alphatop.htm). This involves starting at a station with a name starting with A, then going to one starting with B and so on. There are no stations starting with J, X, Y or Z. They must also be visited in order - if you pass through a C on your way from A to B, it doesn't count and you have to visit that C (or another) after the B.
