Blocking the W10 gauge container train route from Felixstowe to

It says "removal of 9'6" freight from the NLL *by upgrading
alternate routes*".

But are there alternative routes to the WCML that entirely avoid the
NLL?

What happened to that idea floating around a while back about building
a "freight focused route" across London, via the GOBLIN? Has it
completely disappeared?

Doesn't that still need the NLL to link to the WCML?

IIRC it would have featured a tunnel from the western end of the
GOBLIN to somewhere like Primrose Hill, thus avoiding the NLL.
