Default LU Stock Transfer Routes

Wasn't there a connection from just north of Drayton Park up to the GN main
line, and thence to the Northern at Highgate/Finchley, which was used for
stock transfers up till the late 50's when the BR freight connection was
closed?

From then until the transfer of the GN&C to BR in the 70's, how was LT stock
on the Moorgate line moved for major overhauls?

Finsbury Park (Picadilly - Victoria)


And which AFAIK is the only place on the deep level tube lines where

trains
from different lines run side by side underground and can have a "race"
albeit for only a short distance before the tunnels diverge again.

and, once upon a time, Finsbury Park (GN&C - Northern at Highgate).


That was a foot interchange , it wasn't a physical link between the actual
lines. That was at east finchley.
