Default North London Line Revisited

The tunnel mouth is here in Dagenham:

Immediately north of it is the LTS line where all the freight arrives
in London from, so a junction here would be very easy.

I think there is a link in the mass of lines near Kings Cross from CTRL
onto the NLL and possibly other lines but that might involve reversal.


That's the CTRL on the right and the NLL junction on the left:

So this is actually a very good route, but I doubnt it'd be allowed.

Not sure how Network Rail will look after CTRL


I don't know if they will look after it. They certainly don't own it.
