By 100 meters in case of Shrub Hill and 300m in case of Foregate Street .
I think that this is the only practical way forward. The cost of curves, junctions, signalling, as well as increased train mileage must rule out anything like, in a rural hinterland. If Skelmersdale isn't viable....
Is that a benefit? GoogleMaps measurement has Shrub Hill to the triangle as 330m as Foregate St 800m, so much further.
Foregate St is right in the centre of it and is a busy station. Moving it away from Foregate St would be a bad idea. Put in connections to allow trains from Droitwich to serve Platform 1, so they can reverse and then serve Shrub Hill.
When you look at the railway map, it is hard to find many journeys facilitated by a Putney interchange apart from infrequently performed suburb to suburb journeys.
What’s the benefit of having 2 stations around the corner and one of them having no parking space at all ?
Putting the curves in wouldn't be simple- you'd have to modify the signalling of both routes at the very least... you've then got to decide what you're doing with the services, for example would the Ormskirks terminate at Burscough or run through to Southport? Likewise with the Preston service. If you really wanted to do it on the cheap you could theoretically extend both curves to bay platforms either side of the Southport lines with no pointwork, which would avoid any signalling stuff on the Wigan to Southport line, but you'd have to build those bays instead.
Sure, but you would need to change the signalling and build platforms for a multilevel station, plus approach roads, buildings, parking, bus provision etc etc.
Plenty of room for a cycle track linking Junction to Pen Mill AND the old Town station site
Quite. I've become used to it, and quite enjoy the glimpse of inner-city residential living and the pioneering Jellicoe flats, as a welcome contrast to impersonal and smelly Euston Road. But the first couple of times were confusing (especially in the easterly direction). And mobility-impaired passengers beware, there is no easily accessible route.
sorry. I am biased. I think its a smashing place. esp the little cafe at the end of Plat 1.
If we are sticking to the original point of connections behind gate lines, there are no gate lines for the DLR. There is probably a good reason for no connection between Liz and Jubilee. This, and most answers here, could be solved by signage off NR property.
The thing about the Canary Wharf area, is that there are several DLR stations, all useful for different interchanges.
The signposts are probably not very visible to those unfamiliar with the route because they are vertical ones on lamp posts. There are quite a lot of them, but being the same shape and orientation as the lamp posts on which they are mounted... hmm... not sure who signed that off!
I've thought about this too, but with a really fun and not realistic addition of cable car up the hill to chislehurst village. From the junction a direct route up through farmland could avoid going over houses all the way up to watts Lane where it would be short amd flat walk to village and right next to coopers school.

West India Quay has a limited service doesn’t it?
If you want to go towards the City you’d stay on the Liz Line, and once the bridge to Poplar opens you can go directly there for north or east.
Here is my recommended foot route Euston to St Pancras route. Strictly speaking, it isn’t all legal on a bicycle so I would never recommend that you cycle it. I would never do such a thing myself, of course…
I can't find any updates to this. Guess it'll be a few years still
See that is a smart idea with lifts up from Dorking station as an elevated walkway, it would provide step-free access to Deepdene station at the same time (quite difficult with the current station entrance I think). Dorking isn't a particularly shifty place at night, but building some station facilities for Deepdene simultaneously (perhaps a platform extension too) wouldn't go amiss.
But if you want to go south most trains don't stop at West India Quay.
