As one travels south on the Bank branch Northern Line the track
changes sides a few times. They change sides at Moorgate/Bank & at
Kennington.

Not much of a puzzle...

The original CSLR between King William Street and Kennington was always
Right Hand Running - no idea why.

When the Bank Extensionw as opened, the tunnels were flattened out before
London Bridge, but for Right Hand running.

This was normalised at Moorgate after the Euston extension, and at
kennington after the stockwell extension. But as against switch the sides
at the middle (RHR) section, that was left as is.

This is all IIRC, of course - it's been over 112 years since I was last
at the King Willinam Street terminus.

Except that Stockwell was the original Southern terminus of the C&SLR.
