In many outside sections, the platforms happen to be longer than the
trains anyway, and markers are needed so that they stay at the
entrance end.

I think all of the lines mentioned rely on platform-mounted monitors
and mirrors for checking the doors (save Overground, which has
guards), and the train also needs to be lined up with the Correct Side
Door Enable transmitter, so the driver doesn't have a lot of choice in
where they stop.

At Moorgate (Circle/H+C/Met), which I use daily, there are two
separate sets of monitors/mirrors for westbound trains (one for the
longer Met trains and one for the rest).

Walter Briscoe (Walter Briscoe ) gurgled
happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Do LU have any platforms shared by trains which do not have the same
number of cars in a set? Do such platforms have BR/Network Rail-style

Yes!
Metropolitan (8) shares with Circle and Hammersmith & City (6) and also
with Piccadilly (6). Bakerloo (7) shares with Overground (?).

Met also shares platforms with Chiltern diesels (2-6)

Richmond/Gunnersbury is shared by District and 3-car 313s(?) (ex National
Rail now London Overground). Do those stations have both NR and LT
markers? Are they going to change the markers on the rest of Overground?

I believe that the stop markers between Gunnersbury and Richmond are the
same for both Overground and Underground.

I can't remember what kind is at Gunnersbury etc, but on the Bakerloo
shared sections, I think the markers are NR style.

The Overground has "3 car stop" and "6 car stop" signs (or "S car
stop" at some stations instead), though 6 car trains never run (and it
may not even be possible). I don't think there are any stopping marks
for the Underground.

I thought the "S car stop" was what they used for both on the District,
though I could be wrong.

Why would it not be possible?

Slightly changing the subject, LT drivers also have to know how to read
national rail signals as well, don't they?

Yes. On the Bakerloo and District lines.

Control staff on the District, Piccadilly, Metropolitan and Circle
lines also need to know too.

Why on the Piccadilly as it does not come into contact with National Rail
trains?

The power supply may not be able to cope with the current drawn by a
6-car 313 accelerating.
