Northbound London Underground Northern Line 1995 Stock EMU 51536 enters the tunnel north of Morden station with a service to Edgware via Charing Cross - it will next see the surface just before Golders Green station. An unidentified 1995 Stock EMU is arriving southbound in the other bore with a terminating service.

Northbound London Underground Northern Line 1995 Stock EMU 51557 enters the tunnel immediately north of Morden station, the southern terminus of the line, with a service to Edgware via Bank. Shortly to emerge out of the other bore of the twin tunnels is an identical unit approaching the station at the end of a southbound service. The display is already showing details of its next northbound journey - High Barnet via bank.

Southbound London Underground Northern Line 1995 Stock EMU 51683 arrives into Morden station, the southern terminus. After turnaround here it will next form a service to High Barnet via Bank, which includes 17.3 miles (28.3km) below ground from the tunnel entrance visible in the background to East Finchley station - the longest on the network. The platform arrangement at Morden, allowing access to both sides of the train (in this case platform 4 on the left and 3 on the right), makes it London Undergrounds highest capacity terminus in terms of the number of trains per hour that can be reversed.

A northbound London Underground Northern Line 1995 Stock EMU approaches Kennington tube station with a service to Edgware via Charing Cross. This photograph was taken from platform 3, which is served by Bank branch trains, so the train will take the diverging route to platform 1 at the junction.

Northbound London Underground Northern Line 1995 Stock EMU 51551 approaches Kennington tube station with a service to High Barnet via Bank. The junction in the foreground is the point at which the Charing Cross branch diverges from the Bank branch. This photograph was taken from the southern end of platform 3, which is the Bank branch platform.

Northbound London Underground Northern Line 1995 Stock EMU 51551 approaches Kennington tube station with a service to High Barnet via Bank. The junction trhe train is about to traverse is the point at which the Charing Cross branch diverges from the Bank branch. This photograph was taken from the southern end of platform 3, which is the Bank branch platform. The shunt signal in the foreground implies that wrong directions moves are permitted at this location.

London Underground 1995 Stock Northern Line EMUs are slightly too long for the platforms at Kennington tube station, this is a southbound Bank branch train at platform 4 where the rear end of the last carriage is still in the tunnel.

This unusual shot is looking through two London Underground Northern Line 1995 tube stock EMUs at Morden tube station. The platforms are aranged so that there is a platform on both sides of the train, speeding up passenger loading/unloading by doubling the number of doors available. The second train would also normally have both sets of doors open, but platform 1 was closed for refurbishment.

A cross passage between southbound platforms 2 (Charing Cross branch) and 4 (Bank branch) on the London Underground Northern Line. The train is a Bank branch train to Morden at plaform 4.

The line diagram maps in the cross passage between northbound Northern Line platforms at Kennington tube station. The Bank and Charing Cross branches diverge immediately south of the station and take different routes through Central London before rejoining again at Camden Town. North of Camden Town the line again splits into two branches, to Edgware and High Barnet/Mill Hill East.

Looking north from the southern end of Platform 1 at Kennington tube station, this platform is served by northbound trains on the Charing Cross branch of the Northern Line - the Charing Cross branch diverges a short distance south of the station and calls at the adjacent platform 1.

Platform 2 at Kennington tube station, this platform is served by southbound trains on the Charing Cross branch of the Northern Line, which merges with the Bank branch a short distance south of the station. Off peak, around half the trains arriving at this platform terminate and passengers must cross to platform 4 to continue their southbound journey on a Bank branch train. The reason for this is there is a reversing loop south of the staiton, accessible only from the Charing Cross branch, that leads only to the northbound Charing Cross branch platform - see this excellent 3D diagram.

The shunt signal visible on the lefthand tunnel wall controls the access to the loop.

The southern end of Platform 3 at Kennington tube station, this platform is served by northbound trains on the Bank branch of the Northern Line - the Charing Cross branch diverges a short distance south of the station and calls at the adjacent platform 1. The train about to arrive is a 1995 Stock train on a service to High Barnet.

The southern end of Platform 4 at Kennington tube station, this platform is served by southbound trains on the Bankbranch of the Northern Line, which merges with the Charing Cross branch a short distance south of the station. Although about a quarter of southbound services terminate at Kennington, almost all of these are Charing Cross branch trains. The reason for this is there is a reversing loop south of the staiton, accessible only from the Charing Cross branch, that leads only to the northbound Charing Cross branch platform. Trains can reverse from the Bank branch, but as this involves a reversing siding it is less preferable. See this excellent 3D diagram.

Looking south from the southern end of Platform 4 at Kennington tube station, this platform is served by southbound trains on the Bankbranch of the Northern Line, which merges with the Charing Cross branch a short distance south of the station. The shunt signal viisble below the first signal on the right-hand tunnel wall presumably controls access to the reversing siding.

The ticket hall at Kennington station on London Underground's Northern Line. The access to the platforms here is by lift rather than escalator, and rather than wait people often choose to descend the 79-step emergency stairs. This station is the southern diverging point of the Charing Cross and Bank branches of the NOrthern Line, so the display screens detail the destination of the next four services from all four platforms. Note that clocks displayed beneath the screens are not keeping exactly the same time - the one on the right is 1 second ahead; this is not a trick of the photography, it is a single photograph taken with an exposure time of 1/25th of a second.
