I would expect a train movement from Willesden Junction to the ECML to
run via Gospel Oak, GOBLIN and the Harringay West Curve, but this video
shows there is another way.

Yes, indeed, via the Copenhagen Junction.

Do freight trains that need to traverse the NLL to reach the ECML
from UP WCML as a rule travel via the Harringay West Curve?


The North London incline is the preferred route, surely? The main advantage
of the Harringay curve is direct access to Ferme Park sidings.
