The Canonbury Curve is between the GN&CR and the NLL. To get from
Finsbury Park to Broad Street via it, you have to first get onto
the GN&CR, then take the Curve to the NLL, and then turn south at
Dalston Junction.

You're only on the GN&CR for about two hundred metres, and you're
never on the tube section, but you do still have to make the GN
mainline - GN&CR movement.

When the Canonbury curve had a passenger service the connection to the
GNCR was not there.

For people coming in on mainline trains, though, i doubt it.
Firstly, as MIG pointed out, at that point, some GN trains still
took the Hotel Curve at KX and ran into the City along the Widened
Lines

Actually for those /coming in/ they used York Curve. Hotel Curve was
/from/ the Widened Lines to King's Cross platform 16.
