All that said, out-of-station interchange has only been set up to work
between Bank and Monument stations - so the Bank/Cannon Street change
isn't available to people holding a single ticket, and will mean those
using Oyster PAYG will be charged for two separate journeys.


Why hasn't it been set up then, for the duration of the Bank/Monument
works at least? It's a shorter distance as you say. And Why not Mansion
House-Bank while we're at it? That's no longer than Monument-Bank and
quicker from the West.


I think Monument is nearest to the Northern and DLR (when the Lombard
Street entrance is open*), Cannon Street is nearest to the Central
Line and Mansion House is nearest to the Waterloo and City (if there's
an entrance where I think there is and it's open).

Bank probably covers nearly as wide a stretch as the three District
stations put together ... But Cannon Street is always nearest to the
entrance at Bank that you can be sure of being open, at the top of
Walbrook.

*I assume it's open at weekends at the moment?
