writes 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.

But not for the Bakerloo at Waterloo, they don't. That would be because they're not vertically aligned there. [I ought to find a notation for that sort of vertically staggered layout.] -- Clive D.W.

writes That would be because they're not vertically aligned there. However, other people answered Annabel's query "yes". So how exactly *are* they aligned? One is above the other, and where you normally enter the platforms from the side passage it feels as if one is directly above the other. However, one or both of the platforms has a curve [1] and so it's quite conceivable that they aren't totally one above the other for the whole length. So it really comes down to what "vertically aligned" means. [1] I'm pretty sure the northbound bends significantly anticlockwise. -- Roland Perry |

[1] I'm pretty sure the northbound bends significantly anticlockwise. It [NB] is straight on the entrance to Warty-loo until approximately half-way down, then it swings left towards the tunnel mouth. The SB is not *directly* beneath the NB, but slightly offset - and takes more of an arc - until roughly the front third of the train is "straight", the rear two-thirds are "bent" This is from daily personal observations only - and I'm willing to be corrected M |

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. -- Clive D.W.
