I drove down Woodgrange Road today past the two stations a few
hours before reading your post. Next time I'll re-set my clock and
measure the distance.

Forest Gate geo:51.5494,0.0242
Wanstead Park geo:51.5518,0.0264

The north-south distance is 267m, the actual distance is near enough to
that.

Incidentally, the 12-carriage platforms at St Pancras Thameslink etc are
something like 240m long I believe.

Pah, the Eurostar platforms are 400m long, and if you arrive in a high
numbered carriage you have to walk almost that full length just to leave
the platform. It's probably another 100m+ to get to a Tube platform.

In your dreams. Especially if you want the step-free access to the
Victoria Line it's getting on for a ten minute walk (via the Northern
ticket hall).

When I said "a Tube platform", I obviously meant the closest ones, the SSL,
which are a lot closer than the Victoria line. As discussed later in the
thread, that's much further away.
