i went to the edge of the universe today: yes, to upminster and to epping.

random underground question: why on earth doesn't the victoria line extend very slightly further, to the central line at leytonstone, thus providing a handy link, which would have stopped me from missing the start of doctor who?

Because Leytonstone already had a tube station, at a guess.

yeahbutnoyeah. the victoria line was purposefully designed to only link existing stations; of all its stations only one didn't have a BR or tube connection (pimlico, which was a late addition). extending to leytonstone would make the network really a lot nicer.

Yes, but there's many other stations on the tube network that service more than one line.
