I didn't know the northbound platform had been extended over the
crossover. Does this mean a southbound train using the crossover to
enter the northbound platform has to go beyond the platform before it
can reverse and become a northbound train?

Ah, no, because like many Bakerloo stations, the platforms are on the
outside, unlike the island platform layout that was used on the CLR.

So from the platform, you simply look across the crossover. *I should
have said "beyond" rather than "over".

Duh. *I see what you mean now.

Yes, I suppose so, but maybe they'd only reverse north from the
southbound platform.

And in fact (why don't I check before posting) there's only the
trailing crossover, so you can't get into the northbound platform from
the north.

I guess I'm the one that should have checked - for some reason I
thought it was a facing crossover.
