I wonder if they'll "unwind" the tunnels and revert Bank to left
hand running?

That's not in the plan. I went to see the exhibition at the time and
looked at the cut away models they'd done to show how it all fits
together.

Odd. I'd have thought that an obvious thing to do to speed up the
service since it crawls around the bends going south.

That would require much more tunnelling. I believe the plan is that
Nortbound trains will be able to run non-stop through Bank as normal
during the works, while all Southbound trains will run via Charing
Cross.

Where is the exhibition, BTW?

The plan is a 40 day closure Moorgate to Kennington, with trains
reversing at the former.

This is followed by 77 days where part of the service involves trains
running southbound via Charing Cross and northbound via Bank
(non-stopping Bank itself) - I don't know if the plan is to use the
Kennington siding or run to Morden - and the remainder involves trains
reversing south-to-north at Moorgate.
