So it's sort of functionally one station, but split into two because of the practicalities. Interesting. I suspect that London has the odd example of the exact opposite? (Functionally two stations, but both identically named despite affording less than ideal interchange facilities.) -- gordon |

Hammersmith, Paddington, Edgware Road, and Canary Wharf spring to mind as cases where you can't get from one to the other inside the gateline (or am i wrong about Canary Wharf?). There are enough stations with merely sub-optimal interchange that i'm not going to start listing them ... You are perfectly right about Canary Wharf. It is even a slightly shorter walk between Canary Wharf Jubilee Line and Heron Quays DLR than between Canary Wharf Jubilee Line and Canaray Wharf DLR... Yes, i remember that being the case. I *think* the DLR signs at Canary Wharf tube even point to Heron Keys DLR. tom -- Death to all vowels! The Ministry of Truth says vowels are plus undoublethink. Vowels are a Eurasian plot!

Slightly unnerving when you have already planned your route and have mentally prepared to change at Canary Wharf! -- Fig |
