I have heard in many places that the Charing Cross Jubilee Line
platforms are kept in operating condition because they offer a
perfect spot to deposit passengers if there should be a problem on
the Jubilee Line. In fact, I have heard that they have been used at
times when the JLE had engineering issues that required some time to
work out.

I thought if that happened the passengers were just turfed off at
Green Park?

They probably are, but when you have a Jubilee train full of
passengers between Green Park and Westminster and something happens on
the JLE, Charing Cross is the perfect place to deposit them.

The junction is on the platform ends at Green park so I very much doubt
they would need to deposit passengers at Charing X. Empties run there
pretty regularly.

When they drilled the new tunnels from Green Park to Westminster and
beyond, did they modify the track layout at Green Park so that trains
coming from Westminster can go to Charing Cross too?

No.

No facility to get out at Charring Cross.... Escalators have been robbed
for other stations.
Even staff have to be walked out
