There is a lack of capacity but all interchanges are currently possible.
I was speaking to a Bank/Monument C.S.A. last week and was told there
will be a split into two stations in a couple of weeks.

I was forwarded a detailed escalator works schedule given to a
passenger group, and it says one of the two Bank to Monument
escalators will be closed from September, but the other will be open
(in the up direction only) if at all possible, as otherwise Northern
Line trains have to non-stop Bank.

I don't think there's a scenario where the Northern-DLR interchange
gets closed, but DLR-Northern is sometimes circuitous due to the
Northern Line stairs being on the DLR departures side, and sometimes
they close the gates between the two platforms.

For some reason, they also (at busy times) barrier the entrance to the
departure platform so that from the bottom of the Northern Line stairs
you then have to go all the way to the other end of the DLR departure
platform via the area between DLR platforms. I can't work out what
that achieves. Everyone still arrives at one point, but later.
