Couple trivia here: There are only two Underground stations that have island platforms and they are Clapham North and Clapham Common both of which are on the Northern Line. I take it you specifically mean 'narrow' island platforms. Yeah that's it

Noticed this when I was out on Saturday. You can see one of the Southbound platforms (can't remember which one) at Camden Town whilst walking to platform 1 above it. (Shame I didn't get to see a train pass underneath it). Is that the only Underground Station to do such a thing?

From one platform you can see through part of the trackside wall vent to view the opposite platform, which is much more elevated. You can certainly hear the trains if any are about at the time.

At Baker Street, I seem to remember you can see the southbound Bakerloo platform in the corridor after you leave the northbound platform

Random useless fact but Fenchurch Street is shown as 160m away from Tower Hill on the Circle/Hammersmith and City Map on the S Stock but 100m away on the District Line Map all fitted on the same train , Which one is it ?

I used Charring Cross Underground today (Think the first time ever) and was staggered how long the walk was from the entrance to the Bakerloo and Northern line platforms! surely these must be some of the longest corridors on the network?
I usually walk to Embankment to catch trains! I wish I had especially after getting to the Bakerloo Line and finding out it had delays so had to walk all the way back to the Northern Line. My day then got worse at Waterloo as there was something going on at the Jubilee Line interchange so had exit the station and re-enter at Waterloo Road entrance then join the Jubilee Line there! What a day

What a day It’s because they were originally separate stations, with the Bakerloo line station called Trafalgar Square and the Northern line station called Strand, before being merged in the 1970s with the start of the Jubilee line. I think the longest interchange is at Bank/Monument between the W&C and Circle/District

St James Park is the only Underground station to share a name with a football stadium. (Spurs' new stadium isn't called White Hart Lane)
South Woodford is the only Underground Station to have two different station names in its roundel.
