Default The best non-interchange interchanges

Moorgate to Liverpool Street NR

How easy is this to follow if you don't know the area? When there have been
problems on the Met at Liverpool Street/Aldgate I've found it difficult to
easily walk due to poor signage.

St Pauls (Central Line) to City Thameslink NR.


Isn't Chancery Lane closer to City Thameslink?

Camden Town (Northern Line) to Camden Road NR (North London Line)


Kentish Town NR (Thameslink) to Kentish Town West NR (North London
Line)
- though most passengers would be better off changing at West
Hampstead.


Haringay Green Lanes NR (GOBLIN) to Manor House (Piccadilly Line)


South Tottenham (GOBLIN) to Seven Sisters (NR and Victoria Line)


Quite a few examples of the mess on the North London Line and the GOBLIN.
The latter seems to have only one intermediate interchange - and that's a
relatively modern addition.

Is there any prospect of any of these being added to the maps and made valid
for interchanges? Orbirail will be messy given the limited interchanges with
a number of roots.

Whitechapel to Bethnal Green NR
- for changing from the East London Line to Enfield/Chingford Town
bound trains & vice versa.


Bethnal Green tube is even closer to the NR station isn't it?

Forest Gate NR ('one' Great Eastern line) to Wanstead Park NR (GOBLIN)
- for changing from the GOBLIN from points West to Great Eastern line
to points East or vice versa.


Indeed - so close they're on the same road. Just why isn't interchange
allowed between the two?

Leytonstone High Road NR (GOBLIN) to Leytonstone (Central Line)


Very close - the end of the High Road platform (although not the section
currently in use) is above the Central Line tracks. Could a passageway/ramp
be put in here?
