A 13-year-old boy has visited all 270 London Underground stations in one day in memory of his older brother. Alasdair Clift, from Wirral, Merseyside, took on the tube challenge to raise money for charity Bloodwise after his brother Adam, 17, died from lymphoma in March. He began his journey at Chesham station, at the end of the Metropolitan line in Buckinghamshire, at 5.15am on Monday, and finished at Heathrow Terminal 5 station in west London in the early hours of Tuesday morning, having navigated the entire underground network.
