Can anyone explain the choice of tube stations that have closed, and why the W&C is closed please?
I'm not an expert but ...
It looks like interchanges are open.
Some closures where there are other stations nearby, eg CharingX closed/ Embankment open
There are some apparent 'deserts' though, eg/Lancaster Gate/ Queensway/ Bayswater but walkable for many from Marble Arch/ Notting Hill Gate/ Paddington.
Some stations poorly used anyway (eg Regents Park?)
Lifts at Covent Garden- and very close to Leicester Square anyway.
I guess the overarching logic is fewer stations to lower 'fixed costs' and uphold Health and safety with fewer staff.
Possibility of course that some might not reopen?
Most 'suburban' stations still open, ie departure points for commuters further away from each other.
It looks like it makes sense.
