- Due to major works at Bank, part of the Northern Line is closing for three months between Kennington and Moorgate, so I went down for one last time to look at the southbound platform at Bank which is about to disappear!
The last Southbound train departed on (Friday night) Saturday 15th January 2022, at 00:38.

With thanks to Rob Healy for the carriage diagram photo.
the acting where Geoff "found" the maps is SUPERB 😆👏
Only Geoff can get sentimental over a platform edge, what a legend this man is.
Complex? You mean the Manument Bonk Complex?
I'm so conflicted, on the one hand I work in Bank and if we're asked to return to the office during the works it'll be such an inconvenience, but on the other hand, something MUST be done about Bank Station, it is a menace to society, any and all improvements are welcome!
For the bus route fans 7xx numbers indicate either special ,or express , services. The 133 is probably the closest route to the closed northern line section, so that gives the 733 derived number
Also, it’s a rarity to see a Tooting Broadway terminator so it was nice to get that too!! (and use in the Thumbnail!)
I used to work at both Bank & Monument stations back in the early 90s & can remember dispatching trains from both of those platforms. I can also remember working the old manual operating lifts that used to be there.
i dont even live in the northern hemisphere or have even ever been to london but somehow geoff made me feel a little sad about the old platform going.
As someone who changes at Bank 10+ times per week, I'm stoked to see the improvement. Now TFL, how about finishing the renovation of the DLR concourse?? It's pretty shocking down there.
Tfl must be thinking "What's Geoff up to now?"
No one:
the Battersea droop and the Kennington kink, i can't--- 😂😂
Well done Geoff. You never stop to put very high quality videos!
As a regular user of the London Underground myself I enjoy your channel. Always Great, informative and intresting
perfect video, showing everything interesting about bank refurbishment. i originally thought more shots of London Bridge as a comparison would have been better, but time constraints and focus on Bank station are good reasons to edit it like that. love your work.
Man the sheer disappointment of approaching a tube map rack and not finding any of the new tube maps is one I've experienced many times😂
"If all goes to plan..."
Bank station Northern Line platforms are long overdue for expansion as I have used these several times over the past few years and they are always very crowded so will look forward to seeing the new widened platforms when the work is complete.
I SEE MYSELF. IM IN A Geoff Marshall Video. Its a dream come true.
