A couple of people made a (failed) tube challenge attempt about a week ago.
They were carrying two of our NaviGPSs and photographing each tube station.

They gave up the attempt after a few hours because of various train delays
and incidents, however I'm hoping to get the data from them for the bits
that they did cover.  This should give us the locations of a lot of stations
and the paths of the above ground sections for some of the system.
