On the other hand, if a train is stuck in the platform for whatever
reason, right now the next train can just pull into the other platform

RMSJ, blocking the line to Bank. That could be a bigger deal.


Has that ever happened?

The layout of TG and RMSJ from memory:


I've certainly seen a train stuck in the normal platform at Tower
Gateway, and the other platform was immediately brought into use.
