Walking Underground
"Clive Page" wrote in message ... In article , Brimstone writes "Ant W-M" wrote in message ... Many thanks for these two useful postings. The information I really need in addition to this is which tube line interchanges are best avoided because of those LONG walks along tunnels. Sometimes it seems like one is walking underground to another tube station! In some cases, you are. Yes, but only in some cases. Others look as though they are the result of stupid design decisions, or perhaps thoughtless penny-pinching. Take Green Park station, for example, where all three possible interconnection seems to involve a very long walk and lots of stairs and escalators. But both Victoria and Jubilee stations were built while the system was in common ownership. It is hard to see why the Victoria line was not placed so that it's station was directly above (or below) that of the Piccadilly line, nor the Jubilee line station placed vertically above (or below) the other two, so that a single escalator (and lift) system would serve all three. This has been done, I'm glad to see, in the Jubilee station at Westminster. I'm sure there are a wide variety of reasons why the platforms were placed where they are. I suspect geology and existing underground structures would have been well up the list. |
