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.

Of course it's the main Thameslink line. Surely even you must know that?

Or perhaps you've yet to hear about the little modification project at
London Bridge?
