The Open Guide to London: the free London guide - Differences between Version 6 and Version 5 of Cross Platform Interchanges

Contents are identical

On the Tube, describes a point where you can change from one line to another without using steps, escalators, or anything else; you simply change from one side of the platform to another. They're very useful for quick changes.

Also, you sometimes have two lines sharing the same tracks. Hence you wait on the platform for another train to come on the same tracks as the one you just got off.
