I'm not sure if this is a valiant attempt to confuse Americans, but this isn't true. Trains stop in both directions.
A reason it might not seem like that is that there are two branches of the Northern line running in parallel between Euston and Camden Town, and Mornington Crescent is only on one of them. So depending on which way you turn when you reach the southbound platform at Camden, you may or may not pass through Mornington Crescent on your way into town.

- Symbiote 7y agoMornington Crescent used to have trains only stopping in one direction (prior to 1966, according to Wikipedia). Then for a long time, it was one of the less-used stations for somewhere relatively central, and wasn't open at weekends. Nowadays, the next station (Camden Town) and that area's various alternative/subculture markets make the area very busy all the time, so all trains stop at Mornington Crescent at all times.
