And put them on the equally overcrowded at peak times Northern City
line.


I was presuming that the line would no longer serve its current
destinations beyond finsbury park.


and GN pax from north of FP are going to do what exactly? "Sod it, I'm

Any other option entails driving people onto the overcrowded Northern
line, the overcrowded SSL or the overcrowded Thameslink between KX and
the City...
