Daily Telegraph: 150 fascinating Tube facts
In message , at 21:13:40 on Thu, 10
Jan 2013, " remarked: 10. The longest distance between stations is on the Metropolitan line from Chesham to Chalfont & Latimer: a total of only 3.89 miles. Really? Only 3.89? I personally thought that it was longer than 3.89. Google maps says it's 4.1 miles by the slightly indirect road. -- Roland Perry |

Google maps says it's 4.1 miles by the slightly indirect road. 6.35km according to official measurements. I assume you mean the railway, not the road. So that's 3.95 miles. Is the 0.06 mile (about 320ft) something to do with which end of the platform they are measuring from? -- Roland Perry |
