Is the pointwork still in place to allow a Bakerloo to cross over to what is now the Jubilee north of Baker St?
When I was on a NB Bakerloo recently it didn't seem to feel like we were going over a set of points. However on the Jubilee line NB it certainly felt like the ponts at the other end of the crossover are still there.

It is the only connection from the Bakerloo direct to the rest of the LUL network |

The tracks leading to the Jubilee lead off to the left of the NB Bakerloo, rather than the right as you would expect. Thus it's quite easy to miss the junction. There is always quite a jolt where the NB Jubilee merges with the old Bakerloo! |

Few pictures of it actually (not of the pointwork, but yes, I can confirm that they are still there)... Here's a few pictures of the Bakerloo Line tunnel as I passed it on the Jubilee NB, and yes I agree that it's easy to miss, what with the tracks tending to the left. Anyhow...   |

It is the only connection from the Bakerloo direct to the rest of the LUL network ..Which makes me wonder, before the extension to Queens park was built (and thus, also before the link at Baker Street to the Met slow lines at Finchley Road was built, how did trains get onto the line? Was it a case of winching in a-la the W&C? |

I'd speculate that London Road depot was much more an integral part of the Bakerloo line back then, in terms of providing trains onto the line - how they managed to transfer the stock there though I'd like to know as well.

For the opening of the line trains were delivered by road from Camden (Euston ML)
After the service was extended to Willesden Junction trains were hauled via the High Level station and Olympia to Lille Bridge.
When the Stanmore extension was opened connection was made to the Metropolitan Line.

Further to My Reply #8-
I said the trains were 'hauled' but I think all the connections used were electrified (for LMS Electrics) so the trains could be Piloted over the West London Line.
