Correct.

- excepting the fold-down seats on the Picc of course.

Which fold-up the moment you stop sitting on them...

According to Clive's incredibly detailed site about the Underground

http://www.davros.org/rail/culg/

Trains on the Piccadilly Line are "operated by 1973 Tube Stock,
designed with extra luggage space for airport travellers."

So no need to be on the train, just drop it in the luggage space. WRT
to the Circle Line trains, it appears that the Inner Platform at KXSP
allows for placement near a door in both directions that is not used
again for several stops. That means that the bomb would be on the
righthand side (facing front) of the eastbound train and the lefthand
side (facing front) of the westbound train. According to the BBC
picture of the eastbound train, it certainly appears like the bomb
blast is on the righthand side.

Questions:

How likely is it for two Circle Line trains to be within a minute of
each other at KXSP between 8:30 and 9:00 in the morning?

How long to get from the middle of the Circle Line platform to the
bottom of the escalator on the southern end of the Piccadilly line?

If you are at the top of the escalator and a Piccadilly train is
arriving at the station, would you know it before you got to the bottom
of the escalator? In other words, if you were at the top of the
escalator and a train was arriving or pulling in to the station could
you be certain to get to the train before it left?

If you are familiar with the station, how far in advance of a train's
appearance do you know one is arriving? Is there a signal, is there a
breeze, or do you just hear it coming?
