Are you sure you mean Blackfriars?

Yes. Theres a 3 track chord linking the line from blackfriars to the
charing-x line. Look on google earth.


Presumably you mean the (currently unused) link from Blackfriars to London
Bridge, which used to share the tracks from Charing X to London Bridge?


Yup. Just wondering what it was/is used for.


It's the main Thameslink line.
