I can't help thinking that closing the moorgate spur is a hopelessly

circle line at farringdon into already overcrowded trains its going

chaos. If they want to make the trains longer why not just delegate
some carriages at the end that won't open their doors at the shorter
farringdon platforms? Works elsewhere in the world. Or would the
bedwetters in the HSE & HMRI have to reach for the smelling salts?

or cut out the doors in the rear 4 coaches then move the train forward
for the people at the back to get out. It does seem that in modern life
the human race has lost the ability to come up with any compromise for
anything.
They must be really kicking themselves that they built on the goods
yard and freight lines now.
