Was there not talk at some point of incorporating the City Branch into
LOROL?

How would that work? Some kind of mad spur from Moorgate to Shoreditch? Or
from Farringdon to Euston? Or both? Or do you mean LOROL but LO, in which
case what would it do?

Or do you mean the Northern City line, ie the Finsbury Park - Moorgate
tube? I could see that making a certain amount of sense as part of LO,
although i don't see how you'd reconcile that with its importance to outer
suburban services.
