In the Waterloo and City Line, Tubeboy makes reference to a blogger noting details of the W&C line on page 3 - also of interest, earlier on in the blog (page 1) there is a photo of the surface line that crossed the main BR concourse from the main station to Waterloo East - I had seen this before drawn on maps and often wondered how it worked but never seen a photo. As the blogger says " Even by Victorian standards this rail link was a health and safety nightmare and was rarely used" It's about 4/5 of the way down the page here |

The remaining remnant of that connection is the substantial footbridge over the road to Waterloo East.

The modern (grey) footbridge is directly above the old (red) one, as seen hereHere is is in 1910 - the bridge on the left: the one on the right spans the exit from the cab rank, which before the rebuild was parallel to and between the platforms instead of across the end as it is now.
