The stop moved a little farther may change whether someone can make the journey at all.

Two hundred metres reads as nothing on a plan and can be everything in a body. For someone with a bad hip, a chest condition, a pushchair and shopping, the extra distance is not an inconvenience, it is the point at which a journey stops being possible. Decisions like this are usually made in units that do not measure pain or breath.

When you hear about a small change to a route or an entrance, ask who it removes rather than how far it is. If you are affected, say so specifically, since the specific version is the one that changes minds.
