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.

Probably be useful as sidings but obviously as is ever the case in this
country the first priority will be to rip up the tracks and get the 50
quid scrap value for them. Then in 5 years time they can spend a few
million
putting them back again when its decided it was useful to keep them after
all.

Ah, a man after my own heart - an optimist sigh.

But you're probably right.
