It can actually make sense to get the Overground from Harrow & Wealdstone even if you want the Bakerloo. From H&W there are (off-peak) only 4 Bakerloo Line trains per hour, while there are 16 from Queen's Park. So if you're at H&W it makes sense to take the Overground and change at QP if the Overground comes first. So unfortunately, that bit of your journey wasn't pointless!

How about doing a pointless journey between the two Hammersmith stations, one on the District and Picadilly Lines and the other on the Hammersmith and City Line. The stations are completely separate. In order to walk from one to the other you can either go up to the surface and cross the very busy Hammersmith Broadway or use a pedestrian tunnel. There are numerous ways to go from one to the other by train. If you start from the District/Piccadilly one you can start going west to either Ealing Broadway and change to the Central or all the way up to Rayners Lane and change to the Metropolitan Line, or go east and the possibilities are almost endless!

The starting point of my commute is Kenton station on the Bakerloo Line, and the end point is Northwick Park station on the Metropolitan, the walking distance between the two is 500 yards; but to avoid walking the 500 yards between those two points, I get a southbound Bakerloo Line to Baker Street, and then a westbound Metropolitan Line to Northwick Park station 🤣

It would’ve been funny if on reaching Harrow & Wealdstone you had decided to walk one mile to the Metropolitan Line station at Harrow-on-the-Hill for a connection to Euston Square .. Ironically walking much further to do that transfer than if you had simply walked to Euston Square in the first place.

Nice! Paddington Elizabeth line station to Paddington District line station next please. Only because I had to walk it last month and took a good 15 mins (flew in from the US and had a ticket Heathrow T3 to Crewe. Elizabeth line terminated at Paddington that day and had to walk to the other Paddington to get to Euston Square and on to Euston - which was faster with a suitcase to walk than from Paddington to Paddington 😂).

Another idea for a useless journey is Hounslow to Hounslow Central (8 minutes by the H20 Bus, 15 minute walk) Hounslow Railway station to Richmond via the Hounslow Loop train Richmond to Turnham Green via District Line Given that I don't think most people want to do this at horrendous hours, Turnham Green to Acton Town via District Line Acton Town to Hounslow Central via Piccadilly Line. I estimate this journey (not including waiting times) will take 36 minutes, probably closer to 45 minutes with waiting for trains.
