Not that Im saying they should. But what would be the effect of closing
Covent Garden tube station when Leicester Square is so close? Apart
from the obvious massive cost savings? And faster train journeys?

I'd have thought that the number of tourists (and others without a sound
knowledge of London's geography) paying £1.60 to travel between the two
would be more than enough to cover Covent Garden's running costs. :-)

Probably not enough on its own, but it may explain why there isn't a
*BLOODY BIG SIGN* at LSq pointing out - in as many languages as
practical - just how close by CC is.
