What's the long-term future of the Widened Line platforms at Moorgate and Barbican. North of the tunnel north of Barbican, the track has been lifted, and from Barbican southwards the overhead catenary has been taken down There was a short article in Modern Railways recently that suggested conversion of the alignment to use as sidings for LUL so that S Stock can be stabled there. -- Paul C via Google |

Which is, I think, the 'obvious' suggestion that lots of people (inc. moi!) have come up with in the past when this issue has been discussed. |

Surely the *obvious* use is to reroute the Met and friends over one of the liberated pairs, so you have two tracks in each direction, and then use the paired tracks to run double-width gigantotrains as a shuttle between Farringdon and Moorgate. But after that, yes, using the track as sidings is pretty obvious. tom -- ONE IN EIGHT GO MAD |
