What 2 Tube stations in London are the furthers distance apart?
Im trying to find out how big London is including the greater London so I want to know what two points are the furthers away, so in this case what two tube stations are the furthers away, on the tube map I came to the conclusion that Upminister or Epping to Chesham or Ealing Browdway or even London Heathrow airport then with my results I put them into AA route planner and see how long it takes via car and how many miles.
It's a pretty close-run contest between Amersham-Upminster and Chesham-Upminster.
Multimap reckons that the Chesham journey is about a mile longer, but Transport for London's statistics say that Amersham is furthest west and Upminster's furthest east, which would indicate that on the tube (rather than by road) the Amersham journey is longest.
Here's TfL's page of tube statistics so you can read them for yourself. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/modesoftransport/londonunderground/1608.aspx
But you can't use the tube map to assess distances as it's a topographical map (distorted in terms of distance to make it easier to understand routes and links.)
But Greater London isn't actually measured according to tube stations. Its official boundaries are the outer edges of the Outer London boroughs. By that standard, its furthest points are (bizarrely) junction 14 of the M25 (the western point of the borough of Hillingdon), and North Ockenden (the eastern boundary of the borough of Havering).
Hope that helps with your project. =D
