Where should we meet if one of us is in Canada Water and the other in Whitechapel?
Canary Wharf is the fairest Tube station to meet between Canada Water and Whitechapel: about 3 minutes from Canada Water and 5 minutes from Whitechapel. It balances the two journeys so neither of you travels much longer than the other.
Can we start from a whole line instead of a station?
Yes. In the planner, pick a line and choose "Anywhere on the line". getaround.london then picks the stop on that line that gives the fairest meeting point.
How do you work out the times?
