Planning Journeys from Artisan 8
For a journey to work or school, the useful measure is door-to-door time on a typical day, which depends on the exit, the platform and the time of travel. The straight-line distances here give the order of magnitude: a few minutes’ walk to Upper Thomson station and a little longer to Marymount. Anyone weighing a particular route can walk it on a first visit to the area and time it, which is the surest way to know what the journey feels like.
