Default Moorgate branch decommissioned

Following the timetable change, FCC have ceased running empties from
Farringdon into Moorgate and the branch has been fully
decommissioned. As at today, Thursday, the branch has been
completely dewired, final removals occurring adjacent to the LUL
sidings at Farringdon today. The signalling has also been switched
out. Given the speed at which this work is taking place, I guess that
track recovery will not be long commencing.


I would imagine the section would be of some use to LU - as it was in
days of yore.


Cue the usual speculation of outlandish schemes for express routes, DLR
extensions, etc...
