Default Moorgate Thameslink platforms....

The key with Aldwych is that the Jubilee tunnels end there. So it's an
obvious place to go to hook up with the disused tunnels. And you'd
probably build a new station with two entrances: one at the top of the
existing Aldwych lift and the other using escalators into Temple
station.

So the DLR would run Shadwell - Tower - City Thameslink - Temple -
Charing Cross, with trains reversing west of the station on (probably
replacements of) the existing crossovers, like they do at Bank.

In the even longer term, you could imagine a cross-platform connection
with the Jubilee at Green Park, and a continuation either along
Knightsbridge and Kensington High Street to Hammersmith or to
Grosvenor Square, Marble Arch and Paddington (thence taking over the
H&C) -- but that's definitely pie in the sky and billions of pounds
away.



WOW! Way to go.
