Default Broad Street station

However, you'd only need to add one crossover between the Canonbury
and Moorgate lines south of the station to let Canonbury trains reach the
track between platforms 4 and 5, from where there would be cross-platform
interchange to platform 3, which is the down fast, where there are ECML
trains coming out of KX.


Only a few trains use platform 3. Most are routed into 4/5.

It's also worth mentioning that the Network Rail business plan
includes bringing platform 0 back into use so Hertford-Moorgate trains
are segregated all the way from Alexandra Palace. That would make 7
the most likely option if this ever happened.

(there was also a long term suggestion in the ECML RUS to run inner-
suburbans to Canonbury and beyond once Moorgate is saturated, though
with no discussion of the NLL's capacity issues)
