Re: Most annoying station
West Kensington from a T4 start is highly annoying. But, that's only because of Olympia. Bethnal Green has the potential to be annoying. Watford, Croxley and Amersham get a mention because they were the ones that I missed.
It's a bit of a bump, but I have a valid opinion now that I have attempted it, so I wanted to have my say

Re: Most annoying station
What's the issue with West Ken? There's time to switch at Baron's Court and still have a fairly easy jog to Olympia

Re: Most annoying station
You still have to make a special change just to visit it, that is annoying, surely.Iain wrote:What's the issue with West Ken? There's time to switch at Baron's Court and still have a fairly easy jog to Olympia

Re: Most annoying station
You generally have to make many changes to visit all the stations

so THATS what I was doing wrong!Sam wrote:You generally have to make many changes to visit all the stations
Most changes have a return of more than one station though... The annoying ones are generally the ones that have a low return per change ratio.

Re: Most annoying station
On that basis double backs would be even worse - once you've visited a station, changing to double back would gain no new stations - e.g. doubling back at Uxbridge, then getting off at Ickenham to run to West Ruislip

Re: Most annoying station
King's Cross, only because ever since the rebuild, going from the Victoria/Piccadilly lines to the NR stations, there is a bloody long walk which takes ages.

Re: Most annoying station
in terms of normal use (and most confusing signposting for those not in the know), Waterloo and King's Cross.

Yeah, Matthew and I tend to use the old way when changing from the northern line to St Pancras NR station.Starkey7 wrote:James, is it still possible to go the old way?
