Anyone know what the plans are for the remaining parts of the

are? Will LU take them over eventually?


I thought something had been said in Modern Railways about the remaining
alignment (net of any incursions by Crossrail or Thameslink works) was
being considered as potential stabling sidings for LUL use. I might be
imagining it though!


I don't think you are, though I don't think I've ever read or heard
anything solid about it. From a layman's point of view it'd seems like a
decent location for some sidings.


Given the value of land in the area, it's a decent location for pretty
much anything but sidings. There's a disused bay platform at Liverpool
Street behind shutters, so there can't be much need for extra track in
the area.
