I'm glad i'm not the only person who looks at maps of the network and
wonders why there are so many lines crossing without stations. LU are
doing something about the Central/Picc at Park Royal, but there seem to be
equally daft near-misses at West Ruislip (Central/Picc+Met), Kenton as you
mention, several points along the NLL and GOBLin (admittedly not LU's
fault) and more than i want to think about in south London (also generally
not LU's fault; one exception, and my particular favourite, is the
Northern/Sutton Loop miss at Morden - the far end of Morden tube depot is
hard by Morden South NR station: how hard could it have been to join the
dots here?).

It would be nice just to have close pairs of stations marked on maps,
and signs at each giving directions to the other. Things have got
better in recent years, but when the DLR opened there was no
indication at Shadwell as to how to get to the ELL station, and at one
time no signage at either end of the Kenton/Northwick Park walking
route. Through bookings for such journeys, involving a short walk,
would also be nice.

It's a pity they can't re-open the original entrance to the ELL
entrance at Shadwell, to give a better interchange.

There are many other places where a short walk between stations on
different lines is the best way of making the journey for most people.
