Ah I see that makes sense ! I can’t see a similar situation for the Northern Line example, why is it also the case here ?
That's probably a bit more complicated. The station at Borough was constructed by the C&SLR so that the northbound tracks/platform are above the southbound tracks/platform (this often occurred to keep a railway underneath a road and avoid having to pay for expensive wayleaves for tunnelling under a property). The arrangement of tracks towards the King William St was 'somewhat complicated' and further complicated by the diversion of the route to London Bridge and beyond.Ah I see that makes sense !

So by changing at Euston and Kings Cross in turn you can spend the whole day going "north" and end up where you started.Because the lines run roughly east to west, so north-south is in opposite directions when they meet, if you see what I mean.
At Euston? No. Look at the map. Look at platforms 3 & 4, the northbound platforms. If you moved them to be north of platforms 5 & 6 (the southbound platforms) how are you going to 'thread' the tunnels through? And do it without closing the Northern line for a few years. All for the sake of looking 'neat'?I see but couldn’t this have been done nonetheless while keeping the classic track position ?
No I’m talking about the Northern situation between Elephant & Castle and Moorgate.
I posted a response to that in post #8.No I’m talking about the Northern situation between Elephant & Castle and Moorgate.
