A while ago, I heard about a map or document that told you which were the
most convenient interchange stations on the underground line by line - in
other words, where *not* to change lines as it was a long walk/lots of
stairs etc.


LU produces a free book describing exact numbers of steps involved in every
interchange. It doesn't give distances though... which is an oversight,
because there must be a lot of people who have no problem with steps but
can't handle much distance. Unfortunately, the book is so large and heavy
that you have to be a perfect physical specimen to able to carry it.

There is also a map called "The Way Out Map" (which was sold in Stanfords)
which told you which carriage to be in in order to be by the exit or
interchange passage when you arrive. There was another product which did the
same thing line by line instead of as a map. I don't recall a product which
did exactly what you want.
