Default Bakerloo Line

Is it my imagination, or are the two tunnels one on top of the other at
Waterloo? And where else on the network does this apply?
Several places. The layout tables in CULG show them.
But not for the Bakerloo at Waterloo, they don't.

That would be because they're not vertically aligned there.

However, other people answered Annabel's query "yes". So how exactly
*are* they aligned?


I finally had a chance to check yesterday. To the best of my ability to
judge, they are *not* aligned vertically; rather, the passageways to the
northbound platforms pass under the southbound. In other words, the
layout is like this from the (south) side:

______
/ \
/ \
/ SB \______
______ \ \
/ \ \ P __\____
/ \ \_____________/
/ NB \_____________/\ S
\ \______
\ P /
\________________________/

NB and SB are the platform tunnels, P are linking passageways, and S are
stairways - up to the southbound and down to the northbound. The two
passageways are not vertically aligned; at each place, the lower (NB)
ones are south of the upper (SB) ones.
