Hopefully not between Covent Garden and Leicester Square.

Afraid so! Minimum fare I understand.

Yes, I know. It was a jocular reference to the fact that CG and LS are the
closest stations on the Tube.

You have to be a bit careful because that's the shortest distance by
rail between the *platforms* (300m).

On the surface, Embankment to Charing Cross is noticeably shorter at
around 260m, than Covent Garden to Leicester Square which is 360m.
