Despite TfL's currently dire finances. 2021 and 2022 have been big years for transport in London. Northern Line Extension to Battersea Power Station, Bank capacity upgrade, Elizabeth Line, Barking Riverside extension. Hopefully the Bakerloo Line extension will happen soon.

I'd hate to be pessimistic, but the Bakerloo line extension won't start anytime soon. It's a likely candidate for TfL's next project, but the funding issue persists. TfL might need to look at private developer funding as a potential source, much like the Northern Line Extension.

Considering how this is a relatively small capacity upgrade (don’t get me wrong, it’s big, but I mean it in the grand scheme of things, because when compared with Battersea Power Station Station Station, Crossrail and whatnot, it is) in an operating railway, it seems TfL did this soft opening on a Sunday afternoon on purpose, so a few KZitemrs could go there and do the media coverage for them… ;)

TFL did really did kept this as a secret opening date and to open the new S/B platform a few days earlier than it was to be completed on schedule... Either way, that's a big upgrade for the project, but won't be that much busier than it was before covid hit

Good to see you meet Geoff Marshall, Tim Dunn and others. How comes that your Twitter page is locked. Anyways the new southbound Northern Line platform at Bank is massive. And I do appreciate the likes because no matter I comment on Geoff Marshall’s video I don’t get any likes and I think he’s blocked me on KZitem stopping me from getting likes.

I never get why they don't redo the entry to the old platform to make the entry larger. It looks stupid how one direction gets massive entrances and the other is a single file tiny entrance
@cameronallan5624

I agree, they should have really widened them. the fact that they haven't suggests that something substantial is in the way preventing it being knocked through. Building foundations? I don't know, however considering the cost of the project i would be surprised if this was not a discussion that they had.
@Mainyehc

On the other hand, if it gets too crowded on that platform or at the entrance, people can safely enter through the cross-passage instead. With proper crowd management, likely by leading people coming from the new southbound platform to a different exit, capacity is effectively doubled.

The old entrance to entrance to Bank Northern Line through the stairway had a satisfying look to it. It's a little annoying that they ruined the symmetry.
