platform
for the Northern line". What's wrong with the one they've got?

Too many passengers, not enough space, AIUI.

Same deal as Angel and London Bridge.

Not quite... Angel had the two tracks in the same station tunnel, like
Clapham Common etc.

Fair enough, but they're all solutions to the same problem, fitting vastly
more people into old, constricted stations.

There are probably worse changes on the Tube, but personally I always disliked Central Line Bank to Northern Line Bank (and vice versa) MOST. A crowded spiral staircase with people breathing down your neck - a thin passageway and then a queue to get down the stairs! Then, on the Northern platform, the crush of passengers. I was going to Tooting, so I had no real choice. Some people were only travelling Bank-London Bridge, but luckily in good weather a huge amount of people took to shanks's pony.

Travelling from Archway to Leyton the other day, I changed
at Bank. I agree with you. It's dire.

I think that's what my son-in-law, who commutes from Cambridge to Liverpool
St and works at London Bridge, does fairly regularly.

Are there plans to rebuild those two stations south of Kennington, the
names of which I cannot at this time recall?

Clapham Common and Clapham North. No plans that I'm aware of.
