Is there a connection to the West Anglia at Northumberland Park?
Presumably, even a chubby tube train is smaller than NR gauge. Don't
know if you could run to anywhere useful from there, though.
No connection whatsoever, nor am I aware that there ever has been.
I'm
curious as to whether there were ever any suggestions of putting in a
connection when the line was being planned?
Since the depot was previously a rail depot of some sort, the
connection must actually have been taken out when the Vic was
built.
There was a rail connection at Northumberland Park that was removed after
the depot was built. I have a feeling that most of the Victoria Line
stock was delivered over the connection.
