"More Tube delays on the way
Waterloo, City and Northern lines need to be closed for vital
repair work.

By Danny Brierley

LONDONERS have been warned to expect closures on three busy
Tube lines for months at a time.

Sections of the Waterloo, City and Northern lines need to be
closed for vital repair work to be carried out.


And for that matter how do they intend to close a 'section' of
the Waterloo and City line?

Well, I suppose single track with one train would work ;-D

Nah! They'll close one half or the other, so you can go from
Waterloo to a point underneath the Thames and than have to walk
the rest of the way ;-)

Perhaps they'll use the secret platforms at Blackfriars ;-)

Judging by the distance you have to walk at Bank to get to the W&C
I think the platforms are at Blackfriars already!

Peter Smyth

I suppose it is actually that way round. I've always perceived it as
the Central Line being miles away.

There is a 3D model of the travelator at Bank in the Depot* of London's
Transport Museum at Acton Town, showing it in relation to the W&C
platforms, the rest of Bank station, and the streets and buildings
above. It is evident that the W&C platforms are some way down Queen
Victoria Street, probably nearer to Mansion House station than Bank.
