Would you mind double checking your distances? I make it a lot further than that.

I also seem to remember there being a rule saying that it isn't permitted to walk to a completely different railway station when plenty of services are available at the arrival one (I'm sure an argument came up once when arriving at Euston and someone made an onward move from King's Cross). Happy to stand corrected!

Moorfields station has two entrances, and the distance from the other one (you can also see it on your screenshot) is just about ok for this game.

I don't think there is a rule that prevents you walking to another stop if you choose to - so I think the move is fine.
