Default Journey planner having a fit - again

I just tried using the new journey planner again for a journey to 1
Birdcage Walk one morning next week.

It insists I go via St James's Park, one stop further on the
District and Circle lines than Westminster but estimates the
walking distance (fast walking) as 7 minutes from St James's Park
and 5 minutes from Westminster!

WTF?

It thinks it's a nicer walk?

Not much in it. Neither are through the park!

I should have added that if you ask for Westminster station to 1 Birdcage
Walk it actually tells you to take the train to St James's Park (1 minute)
then walk (7 minutes) and also tells me I can "Walk this in 5mins"!

It's also step-free from Westminster, but not from St James's Park. Perhaps
the Tube thinks people prefer to travel via its HQ?
