It wouldn't be very useful. The interim arrangement is more about

so running them through as services to Kent (replacing the SET
Blackfriars services) is the only real option.

It's being shut. The platforms at Farringdon can't be extended to
12-car length without fouling the junction towards Moorgate, so the
branch will be closed.

There are various suggestions here and elsewhere about the alignment
being used for stabling LU trains given that it's adjacent to the
Met/Circle/H&C, though nothing official.

Is that using Smithfield sidings or the Widened lines running lines?
