An interesting idea. I tried Warren Street to Euston Square . The
fastest route between these two is on foot, but the planner suggested
three routes - one from WS to KCSP (Victoria line) then Circle to
Euston Sq. That one is vaguely sensible.



Whit City to Hammersmith, correct route is walk all the way, or the 72
or 220 bus, but aside from that, you can walk to shepherds bush H&C,
then 2 stops, or avoiding walking at all, go via Ealing or Notting Hill
(cheaper via ealing, x-platform at acton town if theres a picc.
waiting)

The routes given were firstly backwards (Hammersmith at the top). First
one was via Ealing, great. Second one via Holborn, and the third was
via H&C to Liverpool Street!

It can support 3 lines though, Amersham to New Cross for example.

Be nice if it included instructions of where to stand, connection
times, limited services, and take all that into aco**** when
route-finding


Taken on board, will try to improve it for the future, but it will take
me a bit of time to catch up with TFL :-o

In order to incorporate Rail, buses, walks and exit locations, I need
information on how to source them from the public domain, as I can not
afford the royalty for something I am offering for free. Does anyone
know where I can get them from ?
