That's correct, however they are treated as two separate (but related)
projects by NR, and each direction can stand alone - and I think one
direction may have had a higher priority initially.

However according to the most up to date enhancements plan they both now
have the same start and completion dates, ie Jan 2012 - Dec 2013...

Will this allow the Moorgate to Hertford North service to operate
completely
independently from the WGC to KX/Thameslink trains. That is to say no
shared
track? If so, it would eliminate service polution issues.


That's the published main purpose of the project, yes. The only downside is
that they aren't initially intending to build additional platforms at the
intermediate stations on the improved lines, at Harringay and Hornsey. That
is a proposal for CP5.
