I'd count New Cross to Canada Water as a different return journey than Canada Water to New Cross so the possible journey's would be 2/702.

Wouldn't make any difference to the percentages, of course.

Yes, dg, here appear to be some inconsistencies in your calculations. For the circle line you have included both directions of the journey between two given points.

Then again, perhaps his is deliberate as you could do each journey in either direction. Not sure I'm happy with that logic, though.

An explanation would be welcome.

Eeek, I'm going to be really picky and point out that you can actually take One from Tottenham Hale to Liverpool Street and I think it's accessible too.

But good point though.

dg writes: I did wonder about the One route, but...
i) by tube it is really difficult
ii) rather more worryingly, I couldn't find out anywhere online whether the One journey was accessible or not

Thing is . . . investing in the tube to make it accessible to disabled people is rather like investing in buildings and businesses to make them accessible. Accessibility, in the end, helps *everyone*, not just disabled people.

*Sigh*

I've seen the odd wheelchair on the Jubilee Line before, but then I live on the shiny new extension, where the lifts are a thing of joy and wonder if you're carring a load of bags with you.

Of course, most of the stations which are accessible by accident, like BR stations or those originally built as mainline stations, like the eastern end of the District Line. I bet it's easier to take a wheelchair the other way from Amersham (towards Aylesbury) than it is to go into town with one.

"who'd have thought that the ancient District line would be second"

A bit bloody unfair to the poor old dizzy line, no? Age has nothing to do with it. The district line is the shallowest line on the network, so it has nothing to do with Victorian moustache-twirling evil and a lot to do with the fact that most District stations predate modern tunneling techniques and are therefore either at ground level or only just beneath it. So be fair. It's the line from the swinging 60s that is the offender.
