Fascinating stuff.

Haven't been paying attention on this group, has the disused curve been
lifted?

The St Mary's curve that linked the line to the East London Line -
yes, it's been lifted and the tunnel has been blocked off.

Why did they waste money blocking off the tunnel? Are they afraid of
vampires late at night or something?

I'd have thought keeping the link would have been useful for stock moves to and
from the breakers or manufacturers - straight up to the NLL and off from
there.
