Doors also open on both sides at Canary Wharf DLR, but Barking is unique on the District Line.

Re the graves question – I would plump for Monument Station. The Station Ticket Hall was enlarged a few years back and several Graves had to be relocated. The Station Operations room was rumoured to be built on the site of a plague pit.
And the Northern Line Ticket Hall was built in the crypt of a Church.

For above, yes Mile End. Hammersmith does not either as it is still in a cutting.
Which is the one station where both deep-level and District share the same two platforms?

Btw, that should say deep-level and District. It is not Acton Town as it has four platforms

The Station Operations room was rumoured to be built on the site of a plague pit. And the Northern Line Ticket Hall was built in the crypt of a Church. Not Monument. From the platform there is a shaft of light from the street This is the memorial. The inscription reads Sacred to the memory of the dead interred in the ancient church and churchyard of St John the Baptist upon Walbrook during four centuries. The formation of the District railway having necessitated the destruction of the greater part of the churchyard. All the human remains contained therein were carefully collected and reinterred in a vault beneath this monument. A.D. 1884  P5260634 by REVUpminster, on Flickr |

 Correct: Cannon Street. The platform and tracks pass under Cloak Lane between Cannon Street and Mansion House. P5260635 by REVUpminster, on Flickr |
