Fair enough, but they're all solutions to the same problem, fitting
vastly more people into old, constricted stations.

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.

I think that's what my son-in-law, who commutes from Cambridge to Liverpool
St and works at London Bridge, does fairly regularly.
