Exploring the furthest reaches Barbican station I noticed a third

these related to the former Smithfield goods station? *( I thought
Smithfield goods was south of the TL tracks, as showm at

The line between Barbican and Moorgate was moved before the Barbican Centre
was built. (I don't know if this is relevant, but I thought I'd mention it.)


Regarding the moving of the lines (both LU and widened?), do you know
where to find further information on this? I had a look round the
Internet previously and found precious little.
