Default A Moorgate to London Bridge Tunnel (Old chestnut)

It does not have to be closed. The plan is to close it because,
apparently, of a RI diktat regarding level platforms.

The bit of track north of the station is *very* steep, however; if not
the steepest on the national network, at least in the top 5.

It is indeed steep. However, I very much doubt if it as steep as the
ramps on the profiled platforms in manchester.

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.
