Good news, although I think that there is a tendency in LT today to forget the lessons of history and over-station.

Extra stations cost money to build and maintain, and make journeys more tedious for passengers. Although an extra station may add only 30 s to 1 minute to a journey, it always feels like more.

Examples:

Southwark should not have been built, far too close to Waterloo.
Canada Water, did they really need this? Very close to Surrey Docks. If they could not have got the JLE alignment correct, could they have just moved Surrey Docks and made it double-ended?
Park Royal, if the Central Line station ever gets built, I understand they intend to keep Hanger Lane open.
Covent Garden still irritaes many people. A double-ended station under Long Acre would serve Leicester Square and Covent Garden effectively.
