A Design Crime – Platform-To-Train Access On The Northern Line At Bank Station
These four pictures show the platform-to-train access on the Northern Line at Bank station.
Note.
- The first two pictures are the new Southbound platform.
- The last two pictures are the Northbound platform.
- The other pictures show the wide and level walkways between the two platforms.
The Southbound platform has level platform-to-train access, but the old Northbound platform does not!
That constitutes a design crime in my book.

Maybe they’ll fit smaller wheels to northbound trains? 😂😂😂
Seriously though, non-level train to platform occurs at numerous locations. I guess when funding becomes available a program of levelling up(or down) will take place.

Both Angel and London Bridge stations have also been rebuilt and I wonder, if as they’ve been done when money allows, that each has been built to different standards, which means they’ll be a step at some stations.
