Default Easy interchanges in London (Waterloo vs St. Pancras International)

Try to avoid changing at:
Green Park


They really messed that up when they built the Victoria Line! Warren St
isn't much better.


In general, it seems to me that the Victoria line was a high point in
terms of easy connexions - cross-platform interchange wherever
possible, often created thanks to considerable ingenuity. The JLE is
clearly a step backwards in this respect (notably at Waterloo) and it
seems that from now onwards the priority will always be maximising
capacity rather than convenience. AFAIK, the plans for Crossrail do
not include any cross-platform interchanges. OTOH, the huge tunnels
make changing at London Bridge more pleasant than most other LU
interchanges involving a similar distance.
