From the platforms, it is possible to see the neighbouring stations of
Southwick and Portslade. As in, you can see the outlines of the
platforms and watch trains approach, call at and leave both stations
reasonably clearly. Whilst my vision was excellent as a teenager, it
is little better than average now.

There are quite a few cases where one neighbouring station is visible
- indeed, I can see the buffer stops at Seaford from Bishopstone.
However, away from the Underground and light rail/tram systems, I
can't off hand think of another example where two neighbouring
stations are visible.

So, any other examples?

I've a dim memory of waiting for a train a long time ago at a station,
probably in north London, and realising that I could see all the way
through a tunnel to the next station. I'm not 100% certain that I
could actually see the platforms - it might just be that I could see a
train stopped in the next station. I'm thinking that it was probably
the tunnel between Hampstead Heath and Finchley Road& Froghal on the
North London Line. If this is the case, might you also be able to see
West Hampstead from Finchley Road& Frognal?

If we're talking about LU,

I wasn't - I was referring to the North London Line, which isn't part
of the Underground - but is now part of London Overground.

Speaking of which, as it's no longer part of LU can we now include the
East London Line in this discussion, and if so does it have any
possibilties? Wapping, Rotherhithe, Canada Water and Surrey Quays are
all pretty close but I don't know how straight or level the tunnels
are.

I don't see why not. The group is uk.transport.london, after all, and
not just about LUL.
