What surprises me is that the cars are still powered up enough to display
"Bank" on the destination screens while going through this procedure. Do
these trains not have a full "off" switch?

No power needed - due to the rather limited range of destinations it is just
a sticker.

Let's hope they remember to put them back facing the same direction or
else the driver may get confused.

Presumably that's why there is a large "B" or "W" sticker on each end
of each carriage!

They could paint the Bank end of everything black and the Waterloo end
white ...

They could, but wouldn't that be discriminatory against the
colour-blind?

Come to think of it, the B and W is discriminatory against the
illiterate. Shame on TFL for being so politically incorrect!
