Distance between adjacent Underground stations I should qualify that the stations are the ones on the same line, so, for example, between Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale on the Victoria line. I don't wish to know the distance from every station to every other, that would be silly, and an awful lot of data. Of course, you could base the data at the end point of every line, and give relative distances from there. Whatever is handiest.
