The pedestrian tunnel to the Southbound Bakerloo platform always feels

very
strange, as you can see the platform level ahead of you, and go up a very
short flight of steps to get there from the end of the tunnel.


*Which* pedestrian tunnel? Are you implying that there is a subway where
you can see both NB and SB simultaneously at Waterloo?

I believe this is unique on the system.


Possibly .. Clive?

half-way down, then it swings left towards the tunnel mouth.


That's a relief!! If it didn't there'd be a right mess!

Is it my imagination, or are the two tunnels one on top of the other at
Waterloo? And where else on the network does this apply?
Several places. The layout tables in CULG show them.
But not for the Bakerloo at Waterloo, they don't.

That would be because they're not vertically aligned there.

However, other people answered Annabel's query "yes". So how exactly
*are* they aligned?


I finally had a chance to check yesterday. To the best of my ability to
judge, they are *not* aligned vertically; rather, the passageways to the
northbound platforms pass under the southbound. In other words, the
layout is like this from the (south) side:

______
/ \
/ \
/ SB \______
______ \ \
/ \ \ P __\____
/ \ \_____________/
/ NB \_____________/\ S
\ \______
\ P /
\________________________/

NB and SB are the platform tunnels, P are linking passageways, and S are
stairways - up to the southbound and down to the northbound. The two
passageways are not vertically aligned; at each place, the lower (NB)
ones are south of the upper (SB) ones.

I checked - there is no point where you can see both platforms at once.

I believe this is unique on the system.

Nowhere immediately springs to mind, but that doesn't mean there isn't
anywhere. Possibly one of the stations on the Northern or Central where
the tunnels are almost vertically aligned.
