Can you get two Met trains leave Baker Street at the same time with one coming to a stop further along? Plus Jubilee and Bakerloo going north

TfL have given an update to say that the changes will continue to apply next Monday and Tuesday.
Does anyone know the nature of the works taking place (and overrunning), with trains still running during the week? The traffic circular I read said that the points were scotched and clipped last weekend (hence the changes this week) and that the scotching and clipping would be removed this coming weekend.

Is the link to do with the locations so far all being terminus stations (perhaps even more specific, at the north end of a line?). I don't know location D and whether it fits or is automatically the odd one out

I've done time at a few and I think Tottenham Court Road is really nice with the new ticket hall, steady flow of people, plenty of space to spread out. Leicester Square starts to pick up around midday and is pretty relaxed with friendly staff (no bias... ) If you'd rather be at street level, maybe Embankment?

For the top half I'll take a stab at Embankment?

Ah, this explains why I saw a Barons Court destination displayed at Leicester Square on Thursday. Was wondering if it was genuine or what it was as I hadn't seen it before..

Surprised it doesn't appear to have anything about the Lambeth North closure (but mentions a further away, shorter closure of Barbican which isn't on the Station closures PDF on the TfL site - anyone know the nature of this work?)

Isn't Lambeth North the least used station (or one of) inside zone 1 anyway?
More surprised that the works are supposedly starting on a Wednesday and before the platforms at Paddington are back open (not that the stations are close, but how common is it to have more than one planned station closure on one line at the same time?)

Sounds dodgy, if there are no staff present on the gateline/in the ticket hall the gates are meant to be left open (or a wide luggage gate open as a minimum). The gates at Edgware have been open a fair few times in the past month when I've gone through!

01 - looks desperately familiar, but I'm struggling to see why it says "to Underground" rather than to a specific line or lines. The tiling reminds me of Leicester Sq, so I'll go with that. This makes me think it must be somewhere with National Rail/Overground but I haven't got any idea to go with that

Is there a limit to how many one person can guess? I think 25 has to be on the Hammersmith branch of the H&C/Circle, more specifically Goldhawk Road

13 I think is more likely Warren Street
11 is making me think Canning Town but I'm less confident?

For the past week and a half or so it feels like the majority of the Northern line journeys I've made have included the new announcements (before this I'd heard them maybe once since first hearing them in January).
I did wonder whether the Charing Cross branch had been updated first as I use that more often and it's most trips I've heard the announcements but not all (could just be coincidence, but I don't recall hearing 'via Bank, terminating at Morden').
edit: Scrap the above, heard the new announcements on a Bank train today!

This evening around 23:45 I was on a train to Edgware that was pulling into the usual northbound platform at Golders Green. On the approach to the station I noticed another train by the side of us, in passenger service, heading into the middle platform where it terminated, only the train I was on was travelling faster and berthed in the platform first.
Was just curious how common or rare an instance like this is and looking for a bit more insight possibly as I found it odd to 'overtake' the train in front so to speak, and to get so close to it (the train behind was advertised as 13 minutes away too!)

I bordered a train at Kings Cross almost a year ago with destination Hammersmith, which before Great Portland Street (my intended destination) the driver announced would be changing to a Wimbledon service upon arrival at Edgware Road. My first assumption is that this is a similar instance (with the destination change known earlier on)?
