I feel sure that the Waterloo and City has more trains than stations

Two and two (in service), I thought?

IIRC at least in the peaks the W&C has 4 trains in service. Normally all
passengers alight from a loaded train each time it enters a platform, and at
Waterloo the train runs forward into the headshunt/depot in order to
reverse.

Presumably after the Code Amber evacuation, on other lines trains run
forward ecs to a depot, allowing a following train to enter the same
platform to evacuate.
