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?

They are on top of each other. The other place that I know of is Baker
Street, for both the Jub & Bakerloo, only because I use it everyday. I'm
sure ther are others - possibly Regents Park.

Yes they are.

There are several on the centre portions of the Central Line.

Several places. The layout tables in CULG show them.

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.

But not for the Bakerloo at Waterloo, they don't.

They're not directly on top of each other.. but almost.. they're at angle
with one above the other.

If you stand towards the front of the southbound platform you can look down
through grills/vents and see the tops of the trains arriving in the
northbound platform.

Couple of stations where they are on top of each other though is St. Pauls,
and the Jubilee at Westminster. Westminster is an amazing station
architecturally speaking!

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.

I believe this is unique on the system.

As other posters have mentioned - lots of places! The one I'm most
familiar with is South Kensington. There seems to be a very annoying
passenger flow to/from the Piccadilly platforms there - they are both on
the right as you are descend, and you have to cut across everyone
leaving the westbound in order to get to the eastbound platforms.
