Circle Line Speed Challenge: Man Races Train

Man vs Train

Bored by his usual morning commute, a train passenger came up with a novel way of spicing things up - racing London's Circle Line. James Heptonstall dived off a Tube train at one station, sprinted 380 metres to the next station - and arrived in time to catch the same train.
He and his friend Noel Carroll took the Circle Line train to London's Mansion House station. At this point, 30-year-old Mr Heptonstall made a dash for it, sprinting off the train, up the steps, and along the roads to Cannon Street station.
As the train pulled into Cannon Street, Mr Heptonstall came down the stairs onto the platform and dashed into the same carriage he had left just seconds before. Completing his challenge with just moments to spare, he crashed to the floor of the train, exhausted, as fellow passengers applauded.
