So it will go to: Euston - west of MC - Camden Town - ... -
Edgware?

This was the reason why, after the derailment on the crossover at
Camden Town, the service was simplified so that all Bank branch went
to the Edgware branch, and all Charing Cross branch went to the Barnet
branch.


No, the junctions can allow either branch to connect to either branch,
and at various times the restricted service has worked either way.

IIRC, after the derailment they picked the pairing that didn't use the
failed points.




Looking at it now, I can't see where there's any set of points that
could be avoided by any option, although they could avoid changing the
points and treat them as plain rail in a fixed direction.
