The Tube in London is a really quick way to cover distances between places you want to be, as this metropolis among others around the world is suffering from traffic jam! However this pedestrian sprinter raced the London Tube train from Mansion House to Cannon Street (one stop distance). James Heptonstall has proved that travelling on foot could literally win the train!
In a daredevil challenge of man versus machine, the 30-year-old England burst out through the train’s open doors, sprinted fearlessly up flights of steps and belted through city streets in an attempt to beat it to the next stop.
He finally made it back on to the train with seconds to spare and was applauded by his fellow passengers!
James Heptonstall filmed his 380m sprint from London’s Mansion House to Cannon Street station while his friend Noel Carroll took the Circle Line Tube for the same journey. The pair created a video of the stunt, which included climbing 75 steps and passing through two ticket barriers, using GoPro cameras! Both men are trained athletes - Mr Heptonstall is an open touch rugby player for England and Mr Carroll is a coach at the Arsenal FC academy. So please do not attempt something similar...!
