When trains are terminated early at Dagenham East, I often feel like walking to Elm Park - it's only one stop. But if I did walk it, it's 2.5 miles by road (not cutting across The Chase at night). Are there any other two "adjacent" stations that have a longer walk ?

Chalfont & Latimer to Chesham is 3.89 miles by train, 4.6 by road apparently. |

We had a fire alongside the track between Dag East and Elm Park once. I had the pleasure of delivering the fire brigade and some of their equipment to the site of the fire, since it was very hard to access by road vehicle.
When we'd been stopped for a couple of minutes and I made an announcement about the delay, one of the passengers had a go at me for not telling them before we left Dag East that there was going to be a delay. She was getting off at Elm Park and thought it would be quicker to walk from Dagenham! Not unless we're here for over half an hour...

Conversely, I assume that the shortest walking distance was that between Northfileds' east end wartime emergency exit and South Ealing? My mother's aunts lived in Alacross Road, South Ealing and if SE was closed in the blitz then when coming home from school in Hammersmithm she and other pax would get out at the east end and then walk through the streets to South Ealing Road. I would be interested to know how much longer N-SE is than Leicester Square-Covent Garden by rail and on foot.

Northfields-South Ealing by foot is about 10 mins.
