would take place throughout the station with new escalators and passageways and step-free access - tripling the size of the station. In the 2017 consultation, construction work was estimated to take four years to complete. In 2018, following the delays to Crossrail and the knock on effects on TfL's business plan, the station upgrade was placed on hold indefinitely. Station layout As one of only three stations where transfers between the Bank and Charing Cross branches are possible and the northern of the two junctions between them, Camden Town features a complex platform arrangement. Like its sister station of Kennington, the station has four platforms with cross-platform interchanges available between branches. However, unlike at Kennington, since trains do not terminate at Camden Town there are no terminus platforms or loop to allow terminating trains to turn around. Instead, all northbound trains headed to the branch use platform 1 and those headed to the branch use platform 3. Trains headed southbound to either central branch use platforms 2 for trains coming from Edgware and 4 for trains coming from High Barnet or Mill Hill East respectively.
