I don't know how long this has been around, but I'd not seen it befo

"Walking can be a quick and easy way to get around, particularly when
travelling during the busiest times, which are 08:00-09:00 and 17:30-18:30
Monday to Friday. The table below shows some popular journeys within zones
1 and 2 that are quicker to walk."

I don't believe that there's a single person in the whole world who gets the
tube from Bayswater to Queensway, or Gt Portland St to Regents Park.

It's bleeding obvious to anyone who has a map, that when you are standing at
one of these stations that then other one of the pair is 2 minutes walk up
the road.

What does happen though is that people making a longer journey make a change
to get to one of the stations when they could have stayed on the line that
they are on to get to its pair.
