Default North London Line Revisited

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.


Network Rail (CTRL) Ltd, a subsidiary company of Network Rail Infrastructure
Ltd have the concession to operate, maintain and renew the CTRL, and to run
St Pancras station.

I'm no expert, but I suspect once London & Continental Railways (LCR) have
completed the railway, they will sell it on to someone else, and concentrate
on the building projects on the Kings Cross railway lands and at Stratford
City. I think they tried to sell the railway in 2005 or so, but the
government persuaded them to wait until it is finished...
