The flat junction at Farringdon would not allow the increase in

Of course it would. How long does a train take to traverse it - 20 seconds?
That was just another excuse they came up with to justify closing the branch.


A train crossing a junction blocks it for much longer than just the
time taken to physically cross it. You're a bit of a prat, aren't you,
Boltar?

Oh , nicely argued. A train from moorgate would take up a slot from a
train going north from city thameslink just like it does at the moment.
Since most people on Thameslink use it to get to and from the City rather
than traversing the capital this is not and has never been an issue until
they decided to make it one.
