AFAIK the Picc is under the mainline from Kings Cross to Finsbury Park
inclusive. (Which is stupid, because it's obvious that they should have
built it under Caledonian Road...)

Putting it under the main line gives more room for necessary deviations
than trying to put it under the road. And the GNP&BR was in cahoots with
the GNR anyway (that's why it ended at Finsbury Park).
