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. Similar to its sister station of Kennington, the station has four platforms with cross-platform transfers available between branches.
However, unlike Kennington, trains do not terminate at Camden Town, thus there are no terminus platforms or a loop to turn around terminating trains. Instead, all northbound trains use either platform 1 or 3, with Edgware branch trains using the former and High Barnet branch trains using the latter. Likewise, all southbound trains use either platform 2 or 4.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
