Hasn't that already been done with the Jubilee? Roger Moorgate bufferstops are around half a mile as the raven flies from those at Cannon Street. Yet another 'Crossrail' idea would be to link these 2 stations and thereby combine the Met services with the South Eastern suburban to Greenwich, Dartford Etc. All DC lines, give or take the power return rail, no pantographs required. Imagine 2 or 2 platforms removed from east side of Cannon street, making way for a steep descent into tunnel, then snaking right, then left to a new underground station near and approx parallel with Gracechurch Street/ Bishopsgate at its junction with Cornhill/Leadenhall, perhaps linked to Bank by walkway then curving left to join at Met bufferstops. Total length of rail tunnels about 1400m. -- Mark |
