Following the recent major investment in the Waterloo & City Line, the platforms at Bank and Waterloo now have a hump that raises the platform to the height of the train floor allowing step-free access for the first time. This photograph was taken at platform 7 at Bank.

Following the recent major investment in the Waterloo & City Line, the platforms at Bank and Waterloo now have a hump that raises the platform to the height of the train floor allowing step-free access for the first time. To prevent doorways lining up with sloped sections of platform, the humps also have a shoulder of about half the height, as seen here. This photograph was taken at platform 7 at Bank.

As part of the refurbishment of the Waterloo and City Line, an additional gateline has been constructed at the end of platform 8 at Bank. This is unusual as barriers are not normally encountered when interchanging between lines, and you need to pass through a second gateline to exit the station.

Platform 7 at Bank London Underground station, one of the two Waterloo and City Line platforms. This photograph was taken a week after the line reopened following a major 5-month closure, so the trains and stations are still looking very new.

Platform 7 at Bank London Underground station, one of the two Waterloo and City Line platforms. This photograph was taken a week after the line reopened following a major 5-month closure, although the old Network SouthEast insignia on the platforms proved too expensive to remove, so the yellow warning line was just painted over the top of them.

Platform 8 at Bank London Underground station, one of the two Waterloo and City Line platforms. This photograph was taken a week after the line reopened following a major 5-month closure - I don't think the lack of adverts will last long.

The statue of James Henry Greathead outside Bank tube station in the City of London. Greathead was the chief engineer of the City and South London Railway and inventor of the travelling sheild that made possible the cutting of the tunnels of London's deep level Tube system. The City and South London Railway was one of the precessors to today's London Underground Northern Line, the platforms for which at Bank are on the same site as the C&SLR's City station.

One of the Waterloo and City Line platform at Bank station on the London Underground. I beleive the advert on the wall to the left that stretches most of the length of the platform is the largest on the network, and one of the largest in London.

Inclined moving walkways leading from the Waterloo and City Line platforms to the main concourse at Bank station on the London Underground. The only other moving walkways on the system are at Waterloo, but those are flat rather than inclined as here.

The interchange passage between the Docklands Light Railway and Waterloo and City Line platforms at Bank station on the London Underground. These tunnels were orginally created as the overrun tunnels for the Waterloo and City Line and as such give a good idea of the gague of tube line running tunnels.

THE FIRST LONDON UNDERGROUND ROUNDEL IS 100 YEARS OLD.
In 1908 the companies operating London's Underground trains agreed to have just one symbol to represent all the different lines. The famous iconic Roundel we know today however did not start to appear until the early 1920s. An entrance to Bank Station in the City of London pictured one evening in November 2008. More pictures of LONDON UNDERGROUND marking this event can be seen on our site below.
