It's a shame that they're not more complete. In reality Camden Town looks more like a motorway junction because it has to switch both branches of the Northern line in one place.

That's Camden Junction, which is not part of the station. The axonometric drawings exist for fire safety reasons AFAIK -- similar drawings are usually displayed somewhere in the ticket hall -- so details of the tunnels are out of scope.

(1927 drawing of the junction on this page: http://districtdavesforum.co.uk/thread/6095/camden-town-junc...)

I like that it's a non-blocking switch. There are alternatives which would restrict concurrent traffic between any two branches.


For a 2D version, showing a track diagram for the whole London Underground network, there's an excellent map:
