The Waterloo & City line would work, except that during the break at Bank you would have *plenty* of time to visit every chocolate machine on the platform and saunter back to whichever car you fancied, which would make it significantly less challenging.

It does have parrallels with other games played in the past, such as ‘at a station stop try and change to the carriage with a working loo’ that you used to have to do on Chiltern 115/116 units… ;-)
