Default District line, High St Kensington/Earls Court

This clearly does not tie up with the Circle line scale, but appears
to me as though the figure should be greater than 45.65 (i.e.
somewhere between the High St Kensington and Earls Court figures) for
the District scale.


Coo, you're quite right. I'd never noticed that before.

Other sources suggest that 45.01 is the correct figure for HSK buffers
and 45.03 for the midpoint of the through lines. Though that doesn't
feel quite right.

On the other hand, one source suggests that the kilometrage stops
decreasing at 45.34 and starts increasing again. I can't think why it
would, though.

Thanks for pointing this out. I have corrected the relevant bits of
CULG.


Your conclusion is the same as mine (i.e. why would the scale suddenly
increase again?). I see you have taken the junction as "correct" and
the platforms as in error. You might be interested to know that the
RCH Junction Diagrams tie up with the figures as you now quote. Is
this the "other source" to which you alude?
