Because so much of the network was up the spout today, I ended up
changing at Waterloo to catch a northbound Bakerloo Line service to
Charing Cross.

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?


You'll find instances of this on most LU tube lines.

On the DLR, using the same sort of technology present in the Tardis,
presumably, there's at least one station where the two lines and their
respective platforms are exactly spatially coincident, only temporally out
of phase by several minutes.

I presume you mean Stratford, but as that's a terminus I don't think
it counts.

On the other hand, Tramlink has a couple of Tardis stations: Birkbeck
and Beckenham Road. Birkbeck, of course, is a Tardis station for
Network Rail as well...

That hub of the metropolis - Pudding Mill Lane?

I'm afraid the lines at Pudding Mill Lane are not spatially coincident.

The only real tardis station in Britain is Ware, where (!) the otherwise
entirely double track line becomes single track just for the length of the
platform.
