The southern end of 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.<br>
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 <A href="http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/7069/ltkenn.gif">this excellent 3D diagram</a>. The shunt signal visible on the lefthand tunnel wall controls the access to the loop.<br>
