Catch a boat on a Tube challenge (I think I'm the only person to have done that, but it didn't help me!)

Do a run between Tube stations that involves going through another building.
(The one through the University between Goodge Street and Russell Square is the best-known, but there may well be others. I remember a group of us doing the run from Hampstead Heath (LO) and Belsize Park and debating whether it was possible to take a short cut through the hospital. I think we decided that even if it was possible, given the state several of us were in, if we went inside, they may not let us out again....)

Catch the H15 heritage bus during a Tube challenge (just missed one on one R15, and it's questionable whether there will be opportunity to do so again).

Be on the verge of a new FNC record, when, with 268 stations done, you fall asleep during the layover at Heathrow Terminal 4 and wake up back at Cockfosters...
(No, I haven't done that, but I'm the sort of person who probably would!)

* a carriage where smoking is allowed, not one that is already smouldering
I know which one is more likely.
On my last attempt at the South of the River Challenge I observed someone masturbating between Wimbledon and East Putney. Not something I'd do, but add it to the list.

Until I read this, I had only considered the term geographically. Now I can see that it has potential as an Urban Dictionary euphemism too...

As Hammersmith (Piccadilly) station is within a shopping centre, does a run between the two Hammersmiths count?
How about between the two Paddingtons? Not a run I've (yet) done but I'm guessing it involves going through the main line station.
