None of your examples involves changing train (and indeed platform) in
order to avoid a walk.
You don't have to change trains to do Leicester Square to Covent Garden,
or Canary Wharf to Heron Quays.


Still, it's a bit of a walk between Holborn and Aldwych


You lot never heard of buses? *It's 2 stops FFS.


Indeed, when I went to the LSE a few weeks ago the TfL planner threw
up an excellent bus direct from Euston, avoiding mucho messing about.
With an Oyster it's no hassle, and the "ah, but using a bus and a tube
costs extra" argument evaporates if you use a bus the whole way.
