Woman spends 48 hours on the London Underground to raise money for charity

A woman who spent 48 hours on the London Underground to raise money for charity said it was an "absolutely wonderful experience" - but vowed "never, ever" to do it again. Ali White began her two-day journey on Friday and finished just after 11am on Sunday.

In the process she passed through all 272 tube stations and travelled up and down all the lines. "It's a nice way to spend a weekend," she said, "exploring bits of London I have never been to before."

Ali took on the challenge after her dad, Andrew White, died unexpectedly in 2016 from a pulmonary embolism - a blocked blood vessel in the lungs. She has raised money for charity every year since - except during the pandemic, when she was unable to do so.
