What would it take to make at least one of these, GC and Piccadilly
Line, pairs into an interchange station?


The addition of an NR symbol to the tube map!


Indeed!

The Sudbury Hill stations are certainly very close.


The TfL journey planner puts the walk at 300 metres; it'd be less if there
was an entrance to the NR station on Greenford Road. That's not a lot more
than the 190 metres between tube and thameslink stations at West
Hampstead, and those qualify as a single station (albeit two blobs) on TfL
diagrams. It's definitely less than the 400 m walk from the W&C to circle
platforms at Bank, which again is one station with two blobs.


And, hey presto, in the new London Connections map
(http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/pdfdocs/lon_con.pdf is now that new High
Frequency Services map), the two Sudbury Hills are indeed one station with
two blobs.

I was actually looking fairly closely at the strip map on the Picc this
morning - they've got huge 'DON'T GO TO COVENT GARDEN YOU MORONS!!!'
panels all over it - but i didn't check to see if there's an NR icon at
Sudbury Hill now. I'll look this evening.
