Changing trains can be such a pain and takes so long. By the time you’ve got off a train, walked along a platform, up the escalator, along a corridor, down another escalator, along another corridor, down another escalator, along the platform and on the train I’m beginning to think it would have been quicker to have walked. We need more information before starting a journey. Which is deepest in central London: Bakerloo, Northern, Metropolitan, Piccadilly or Jubilee?

🙁

Not all of the stations are the same level so counting the steps will not work, unless you can relate them to a starting height.

Google Earth provides you with the lat, long and elevation for the surface entrances for the stations though, so you could use that. For example, BlackFriars exit 8 is at 51’30’40.00N, 0’06’15.83E and is 14m above sea level.

Given the inaccuracy of hand held GPS units in terms of elevation, and also the time it would take someone to survey each of these in, I don’t believe these would be practical.

I love what you are trying to do. I’ll start counting next time I am on the tube…
