Well, I did start gathering data and making my own journeyplanner to take
with me on a mobile, and I am able to find quickest routes through most
lines already... but some question to the line setup however remain, I am
certain you will have no difficulties helping me with them:

I'm really not big into parade-raining, and I do apologise if this seems at
all rude, but here goes...

1) Shepherd's Bush: There is a station by that name on Central and on
Hammersmith & City - are that really different stations? Can someone
change there? How far apart are they? And... why the naming?

2) Paddington: Seems to be triple. On H & C as an isolated station, but
with the circle to allow transfers (to where). Then one circle on the
Bakerloo, and another one on the District/Circle section. How is the setup
there, how many different Paddingtons are there and how can one
interchange from one to the other? Do you leave the station / ticket gates
to change?

3) Tower Hill / Tower Gateway: I remember having changed there from DLR to
Circle or so, different stations close to another, right?

4) Bank / Monument: Bank is for Waterloo, Central and Northern, Monument
is Circle and District? How far are they? Different stations really or one
big one connected sub level?

5) Central line Hainault Branch: How do the trains run there from central
london? Either all the way straight to Epping, or ... to Hainault, but
which way? What I mean is: How do I reach Chigwell or leave? Does the
train loop through Hainault going to Woodford and back to London? Or is
Hainault reached from both sides and terminus station? And how do trains
go from Hainault, both directions to London or just one??

Quite a lot of questions for a project that does make little sense in the
first place... but it is a lot of fun learning the network layout, so I
might as well get it correct... Thanks if one wants to help!

Btw: I did not yet create routings for the DLR, the Northern or District
line... Their layout, Kensington Olympia, Richmond and Wimbledon are full
of questions too... but one at a time!
