Use of the Moorgate branch? I don't know what they mean, unless the
former
plan required widening of the Circle Line platform at Barbican.

It says the redesign is 'At street level'. It sounds like the disused
(following Thameslink 2000) Widened Lines were going to be used for
passenger access or buildings.
