The Railway Herald is wrong and you are right - you can deduce this
from the ground without even needing to look at any plans. A new
junction has already gone in on the down slow mainline south of NXG,
this can be seen from a train obviously but also the top deck of any
bus that traverses New Cross (the road) - the existing platform will
thus be reused.


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


I believe it's gone already.


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


The plan certainly last year was to put it back in (on the basis that
signalling etc was going to be to LUL standards and so to make it easy
to get LUL departmental vehicles etc onto the line) however I heard a
rumour that that plan was now no longer to happen.
