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

There is no obvious use for the extra pair from Farringdon to
Moorgate, sad really.

I think it's to be used at least in part as a stabling location for the new
(longer) S-stock - at the moment part of it is being used as a worksite
(storage etc) for the Farringdon Thameslink works - might also prove useful
(indeed could well be part of the plan) to utilise it in the same capacity
for Crossrail works too.

Will "S" stock be able to reverse at Aldgate? The problem with
utilizing the tracks and/or platforms on the Moorgate widened lines is
that terminating trains have to cross the anti-clockwise Circle line
in a conflicting movement. The same would apply were the terminal
platform at Liverpool Street restored.
