Will the tracks linking the ELL and the District (St.Mary's curve) be

I believe it's gone already.

That's the present but will it remain so when the ELL re-arrangement
is completed ?


I don't think the curve will be reinstated - I can't think of any reason why
anyone would want to use it (won't be needed for its previous use of stock
transfer; engineering arrangements for LUL and NR are separate, so
engineer's trains won't need to use it), and there are probably advantages
in keeping a good electrical gap between the 4-rail LUL lines and the future
3-rail NR (LO) lines.
