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.

It can't be , its out of use.
