repeating myself There are two soon-to-be-unused tracks
stretching from Farringdon to Moorgate, passing a short walk from
the Museum Of London. The tracks are probably large enough for
everything - I'm sure even A-stock would fit.

Ah - excellent point! That gets us static displays on two tracks
at
Moorgate and Barbican - much better than Charing Cross alone. Will
the tracks remain connected to the Thameslink line at Farrington?

No, but since they are alongside the Met, that wouldn't be a
problem. I was thinking that one track would be turned into a
"platform" stretching from Farringdon to Moorgate, and the other
would be filled with trains.

An interesting idea, if feasible.

I take it there's a track connection with the Met?

No. There would be no point - anyway, it doesn't have fourth rail
electrification.

Surely there was once a connection at Moorgate, so one could be
reinstated there quite easily?
