Distance between adjacent Underground stations

Rayleigh Collins made this Freedom of Information request to Transport for London

The request was successful.

From: Rayleigh Collins

14 August 2008

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please could you supply me, in non-proprietary electronic format,
the distances between adjacent underground stations for all tube
lines. This can be track length, if that makes it easier (which I
presume you must know, in order to get engineers to lay/fix it.) or
actual crow-flying distances.

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.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir or Madam,

With regards to my freedom of information request, I would like to
point out that your have taken longer to reply that is allowed by
law. I have had no communication from you at all.

As you are in breach of the law, could you either explain why (and
quickly. An explanation at any point during the twenty days allowed
would have been fine, but too late for that) or please supply the
information I requested.

Yours sincerely,
