Default Why is the piccadilly line so slow?

You could always walk from the vic to the picc at green park though the

designed layout at that station makes it far more of a slog than it should be
just to change lines.


No, it's a doddle: take the Vic escalator to the surface, come down on the
other escalator, and you're straight on to the Picc platforms.


Going up 1 escalator then down another is hardly a doddle for some people
especially if you have kids or stuff to carry. Also if you're the wrong
end of the vic platform you have a long walk.


If you're using the escalator short-cut, you just need to be somewhere
towards the middle of the Victoria line train. In the other direction, you
want to be at the western end of the Picc train.

It's step-free, too.
