Tube direction

Just to add confusion, the circle line has no terminus point (except at
night but theyre not classed as such), but the trains to St. James'(s?) park
will say Circle Line Via. Victoria
Apart from the Circle Line, the normal practice is to label the two
possibilities with the general compass point, e.g. Eastbound versus
Westbound, or Northbound versus Southbound. This is clear enough,
except when the track runs diagonally, or changes direction.
Thus if were to start from King's Cross and take the Northern Line one
stop in the Northbound direction, then change to the Victoria Line and
take it one stop, again in the Northbound direction, you might be
surprised to find that you had got back at King's Cross, where you
started. But if you look at the map, you can see that this almost makes
sense.
