There are probably worse changes on the Tube, but personally I always disliked Central Line Bank to Northern Line Bank (and vice versa) MOST. A crowded spiral staircase with people breathing down your neck - a thin passageway and then a queue to get down the stairs! Then, on the Northern platform, the crush of passengers. I was going to Tooting, so I had no real choice. Some people were only travelling Bank-London Bridge, but luckily in good weather a huge amount of people took to shanks's pony.
