I didn't know the northbound platform had been extended over the
crossover. Does this mean a southbound train using the crossover to
enter the northbound platform has to go beyond the platform before it
can reverse and become a northbound train?

Ah, no, because like many Bakerloo stations, the platforms are on the
outside, unlike the island platform layout that was used on the CLR.

So from the platform, you simply look across the crossover. I should
have said "beyond" rather than "over".

Duh. I see what you mean now.

Yes, I suppose so, but maybe they'd only reverse north from the
southbound platform.

And in fact (why don't I check before posting) there's only the
trailing crossover, so you can't get into the northbound platform from
the north.

I guess I'm the one that should have checked - for some reason I
thought it was a facing crossover.

My memory may be erroneous, but I thought that once there was a
scissors crossover here.

It was replaced last year, but it seems to have been the same
immediately before according to the 2002 Quail.

I'm talking about when my brother and I used to occasionally travel to
Willesden Junction. We, being aged about 8 and 6, called the north end
of the northbound Bakerloo platform at Piccadilly Circus 'The Noise
Box' because of the extremely loud noise of the 1938TS crashing over
the points. I'd say about 1963-5!

We got to hear this noise quite a lot, as it seemed to us that most
trains went to Stanmore and most of the rest terminated at Queens Park.
We couldn't catch the latter and change onto the Euston-Watford service
as it seemed to be against my father's religion.

Hello guys!
I agree with the above information and I'm trying to get to Bank station from London Bridge tomorrow, is that journey possible?

Yes.may be possible and its depends upon your idea and have a nice journey....
