According to The Times this week, the Mayor told a meeting of the London
Assembly that 'normal' service on the Northern Line may never resume
due to
safety concerns about reintroducing the crossover of services at Camden
Town.

Don't know any details.

I have heard rumours from different sources that the Northern Line
services
will remain as they are for a long time. There is no immediate plan
to
allow
via Bank services from the High Barnet branch. Will this be another
Mornington Crescent situation.

I wouldn't mind betting that LU prefer running the line in that
configuration as it makes timetabling and train movements a whole lot
more simple. There are effectively two lines operating that happen to
converge at Camden Town.

AFAIK High Barnet/Mill Hill East - Kennington Loop and Edgware -
Morden work quite nicely independently.

As far as I'm aware, the original timetable 48 is still going to come back
in shortly.
