Urban railway systems carry billions of people every year. A minute fraction are competitors who seek the fastest time for riding to every station. Primarily attempted on the London Underground, this activity is popularly known as the Tube Challenge, recognised as a Guinness World Record since 1960.

But it goes much further. Corresponding records have been achieved on the New York Subway, Paris Métro and more, and the hobby’s origins stretch back well over 80 years.

This book details all known official records and holders in this discipline together for the first time, as of 2022. Learn about the planning, persistence and personalities of the pursuit, its occasional brushes with popular culture and the niches it has carved across the world.

This is the ultimate ride.
