... 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?

They're being converted into sidings to stable eight S7 trains, needed
because the number of such sidings was reduced when these trains
replaced
the shorter C stock. They won't be used as running lines.

Where have these eight trains been living for the last six years, then?

IIRC "in the wrong place" in the form of being parked in less
convenient places outwith traffic hours. Siding space has been lost at
Wembley Park because S stock is too long. That accounts for 4 or 5
trains and until recently there was at least one away at any one time
for mods.

I think some were also lost at Triangle sidings and Hammersmith.

I didn't realise trains were lost in the Triangle as well as ships and
planes.

They lost a Circle Line train for a week once.
They found it in Rickmansworth sidings.

Perhaps they should have been searching for all those ships and planes in
Rickmansworth.
