Default kingsway tram and the central line

Doubt it - the tram tunnel is huge** so it would be a lot wider than
that. And its not very deep anyway, much shallower than the central
line.

Did the tram tunnel extend so far north anyhow?


Yes; the original entrance is about 50 metres north of the tube station.

how far west is the central line platform? is the bridge-like indent
at the western end close enough to the tram tunnel?

As well as the Central Line probably being too deep (I haven't seen
the tram tunnels, but assume shallow), I actually don't think the
platforms go far enough west.

Basically, there's an overhang at the western end of both platforms,
but on the eastbound platform there's also a door to some kind of
signal control room, so I suspect that is what's above the tracks.
