.... that the abandoned national rail lines from Moorgate to Farringdon
might see re-use as part of a plan to increase capacity on the C/M/H
lines. Does anyone know what he means?

The general consensus is that when crossrail is eventually finished sometime
in the 22nd century, that line will be linked to the met line at farringdon
and used as sidings or maybe a terminus line. Though given how few people
are using the tube right now and TfLs cash crisis it probably won't happen
anytime soon I suspect.
