London Underground superfan, 8, guesses all Tube stations in viral 'Metro Memory' game in under 90 minutes

A schoolboy who's loved the London Underground since he was a toddler proved how much of a superfan he is by correctly naming every Tube station on the viral 'Metro Memory' game in under 90 minutes. Lewis Wing, eight, missed just six stops out of a possible 581 and they were all on the London Overground.

Lewis completed a mission to visit all of the stations on the Tube network between the ages of three and six and he put his knowledge to the test with the online game which has gone wild in the last week.

Incredibly, Lewis listed 575 out of 581 stations in an hour and 22 minutes - only missing stops on the Overground. He forgot Bush Hill Park, Silver Street, Rectory Road, Wood Street, Stamford Hill and Highams Park.

Lewis, from East London, said: "The challenge was mostly easy, I just did it line by line. I would have got everything but I don't know the Overground so well so those were the stops I missed.

"I started with the Bakerloo line but the quickest line I did was the DLR. I managed that in two minutes and 21 seconds. I had two one-minute breaks but that was it. If I did it again I know I'd get them all now!"

Mum Sheina Vasudevan, 48, said: "His dad and I took turns to be sure there was no cheating going on!"

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
