The Bank branch is generally on the east side of London. At Kennington
the southbound Bank branch arrives on the west side. That means it has

But the line still runs north to south, and it's not east of either
northbound tunnel. There's no right-hand running.

The problem at Euston is that one line runs east to west and the other
west to east, and if one didn't have right-hand running, the opposite
direction tunnels would be adjacent to each other.



There was discussion a while back about how it would be nice if you
could stand in one corridor to get the next train to Kings Cross.

However, the arrangement we have means that you can easily get from,
say, Green Park to Edgware without stairs and escalators. But not
from Green Park to Angel. It probably suits the majority as it is.
