The data showed that even within stations a third of passengers did not
use the quickest routes between platforms and could be wasting up to
two minutes.


Assisted, no doubt, by TfL signage which frequently points to
non-optimum routes on account of fearing overloading of the optimum
route.


Yes, choosing King's Cross is unfortunate as passengers are deliberately
directed a very long way round to get to the tube platforms there,
especially from the main line to the Victoria Line.
