A look at the Jubilee Line Extension, which was opened throughout to connect with the original line on 20th December 1999.
Two separate main line stations are built at different levels while the new Jubilee Line station has been built adjacent to one at the same level.
The station here has had to be incorporated into the existing complex with the main line station, the Eurostar station, the Bakerloo and Northern lines and the Waterloo and City line.

In 1996 the southbound Northern Line, City Branch, was closed for a period to allow various works to be carried out; when it re-opened, the track-bed of the southbound platform at London Bridge had been filled in, and a new southbound platform tunnel dug, allowing the old southbound platform to become a central concourse.
Waterloo on the Bakerloo Line and Bank on the Central Line are classic examples of the awkward rules which governed the early tube-line building: the companies were more or less obliged to build their railways solely beneath public roads, so sharp curves were required at some points.
As at Euston, the northbound line was diverted into a new tube which runs further to the west (naïvely taking the direction of travel as actually being northwards!); at Angel the new tube is reached via the cross-passages on the left.

The Concourse Line is a subway branch line of the New York City Subway system, extending from 205th Street in the Norwood section of the Bronx to join with the Eighth Avenue Line at 145th Street in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan.
The line runs from 205th Street in a generally south and south-westerly direction, running beneath the Grand Concourse roadway for much of its route, from which it derives its name.
The Concourse Line opened on July 1, 1933, less than 10 months after the IND's first line, the Eighth Avenue Line opened for service.

Ave elevated lines to the west and to their hopes that the el will fold and be torn down.
Because of the tricky “T” shaped line configuration involving the E, F V and B/D lines traveling in different directions, southbound express and local trains come in on opposite sides, the B and D express trains use the local track, while F and V trains use the express track.
The Coney Island Yard complex is between the N and F lines and is partially visible.

 DEN security wait *must* improve
So, I then walked over to the Continental ticket counter (no one in line) and bought a fully-refundable ticket to Houston, then returned to the concourse A line, displayed the ticket to the same woman, and was allowed through.
I too was in San Francisco yesterday, and while the lines sneked all over the terminal and as one person said probably stretched all the way to Oakland if they were not zig zagging, they still didn't have all the stations functioning.
The bottom line is that security at DIA (or United), has decided that if you have any metal in your belt, bra, shoes, etc. you are going to be wanded.

 Car History
One rift in the system was created, when the popular Coney Island based lines ("known as the "southern division") received brand new subways and elevated structures (and a new subway connection to the old Brighton open cut line), while the East New York based "eastern division" got mostly upgrades to existing elevated lines.
It was at this point that the final merger between the BMT and IND occurred: The Chrystie Street connected joining the IND 6th Avenue line with the BMT's Manhattan Bridge to it's "south" section, and the Williamsburg Bridge to its "east" section.
Where the Culver line always had its own section of the huge Coney Island Yard complex, and its own pocket in the Stillwell Avenue terminal, the IND lines that ran there did not mingle with the BMT lines.

 New York City Subway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planet2.scs.cs.nyu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The city was closely involved; every line built for the IRT, and most other lines built or improved for the BRT after 1913, was built by the city and leased to the companies (via the original Contracts 1 and 2 for the IRT subway, and the Dual Contracts for later extensions and widenings).
The BMT Jamaica Line uses skip-stop service on portions, in which two services operate over the line during rush hours, and minor stations are only served by one of the two.
As a result, while most of the IRT lines could accommodate the larger BMT/IND equipment with modifications to the station platforms and trackside furniture, this is not deemed feasible, because the original, narrower, subway includes portions of both IRT Manhattan mainlines, as well as a critical part of the Brooklyn lines.

In 1954, when the D took over the line from Ditmas to Coney Island, Nassau St. service was still maintained for a few years (expresses via Bridge and locals via tunnel) to Ditmas, until it permanently became a shuttle 5-28-59, (designated "SS" when letters started to be used) then was discontinued in 1975.
One of the few lines that operated was the Brighton local which was split into two overlapping routes: from Coney Island via tunnel to 57th, and from Whitehall to 179th.
When the number designations of IRT lines became the official identifiers during the Chrystie St. changes of 1967, the #8 was used for the last remaining segment of the Third Av.

 IND Eighth Avenue Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At this point, local tracks of both lines interconnect south of the station in another elaborate flying junction which allows local trains of either line to continue south on either the Eighth Avenue Line to Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn or on the Sixth Avenue Line to the Lower East Side and Brooklyn.
The line then continues south under Sixth Avenue (which was built as part of the subway project) and Church Street.
The Eighth Avenue Line, and the remainder of the IND system were built by the City of New York partly to provide modern rapid transit facilities and partly to compete with the private companies, the BMT and IRT.
