250m long? That'll produce some interesting bunching of passengers down
one end. I doubt many people will spend 3 minutes walking down the
length
of the platform.

Why should it? The central underground stations are double ended, (eg
Farringdon/Barbican, Moorgate/Liverpool St) with access to the platforms

Unless the entrances are spaced a reasonable distance apart then
passengers
are going to have to walk those 250 metres at some point , whether its on
the platform or in a connecting tunnel.


They are spaced a reasonable distance apart, eg Farringdon and Barbican,
Moorgate and Liverpool St, Bond St and Hanover Square, and Tottenham Court
Rd (Centre Point and Dean St)

Effectively there will be 8 entrances and ticket halls on the surface, for
the 4 central area stations...
