Erm, both routes he was comparing were from the Circle platforms.

Who would do that, now that you also have to change at Edgware road?

A kind person has emailed me the original report, and it was published in
July 2010, based on data collected by LUL from 1998 to 2005 - when the
Circle was still a circle (and not a teacup).

The full report is 22 pages long, but doesn't seem to have "30%" in it
anywhere, although it's full of very jargony/geeky statistics and
terminology.

In terms of "proving what the funders wanted", the main objective appears
to be to investigate why travellers don't make the best decisions about
where to change trains, and how things like the presentation of the map
could be altered to help make their journeys quicker.

One example that chimes well with me is the way Green Park looks like a
good place to change trains, but isn't (very long walks). It actually
deserves the dumbbell-icons even more than Baker St and Euston, and about
the same as Bank/Monument.

perhaps a blow-up map of the central area with walking times between
platforms would be useful (in addition to the current full map, not squeezed
on the same map)
