After having headed eastwards about a mile further than they needed to
go.

In a similar vein, nobody ever uses the Northern Line to travel
between Euston and the City.

Yes they do. Lots of people work around Bank, Moorgate, and Old
Street.

I thought John was being sarcastic.

It would be more similar to say that no-one ever uses the Northern Line
to travel between Euston and Kensington, which is generally the case.

That's not such a good analogy, because the Northern line does not go
between to Kensington. Did you mean Kennington, or am i missing your
point?
