Default A Moorgate to London Bridge Tunnel (Old chestnut)

If the Bank of England sacrificed its vaults (Very little use for them
now, with the gold sold off) and Cannon Street St was put underground
(Plus a new tunnel under the Thames), would a tunnel connecting
Moorgate and London Bridge be feasible? Or do the tube lines around
there make it impossible?


I'd be more interested in the feasibility of turning the Northern City
into a DLR line to East Finchley...


As soon as we started talking about abandoned track, i knew it wouldn't be
long until someone started talking light rail, even if it ia on a
different line ... back on the subject of the Midland City Line (aka
Widened Lines), maybe you could get some Cross River Transit action down
there, via a crafty tunnel from Holborn. That would be actually be pretty
useful - it would link the southern half of XRT to the City.
