The aim is to think of journeys lengthened dramatically with the sole aim of reducing the legwork.
Two examples:
Manor House to Seven Sisters via Heathrow Terminal 4 (for the cross platform at Finsbury Park).
Paddington (CHC) to Paddington (BCD) on a direct Circle line train

I've often wondered if trains run from High Barnet/Mill Hill East to Edgware (and vice versa) via the Kennington Loop.

Clapham Junction around to Clapham Junction on the LO for a shorter walk at Highbury & Islington than through CLJ.

Heathrow T4 to Heathrow T5, via Cockfosters, because crossing the platform is too much.

King's Cross to Euston via Inverness. Head north on the 1200 Highland Chieftan service; walk to the adjacent platform where the sleeper is waiting for you. You should arrive the following morning, having slept in a bed, too.

Richmond to Chiswick Park, via Upminster as you can't be bothered to change platforms at Turnham Green!
