Is it really necessary for freight to use the NLL in the first place?
Surely there must be other routes it can take. Or just do most freight
at night with a limited service in the day.

I thought you knew everything? Obviously not or you would have know about
traffic from the UK's busiest port to its busiest main railway line.

Sadly I don't have the time nor inclination to review the entire
railway route map of the UK.

Not even its busiest sections? Shame!

Actually I've looked at the link to the ECML on google maps and the only one I
can find is facing the wrong way for ELL so I take back what I said. Pity.

The busiest main line isn't the ECML, as I'm sure a man of your great
learning knows very well.

Ok. And? Finsbury Park is on the ECML , not the WCML.

The Canonbury tunnel used to be a passenger route: through to Broad Street.
In my early twenties, I travelled to work that way every day.

I think Spud is right when he says that taking the L.O. to Finsbury Park would
have been better than taking it to Highbury & Islington. I've never been
persuaded that the frequency of freight trains is such that running L.O. trains
across the tracks and into the tunnel is impossible.

But the main freight traffic flow on the North London Line which is in the
way of your Canonbury Curve passenger traffic idea is between Felixstowe and
the West Coast Main Line. Did you not know that, o knowledgeable one?

Isn't the busiest main line the GEML into Liverpool St?

No. I care about the railways when its of concern to my commute. I currently
have no plans on commuting in a container to or from Felixstow.

The WCML is normally described as the busiest mixed traffic railway in
Europe, and t think it has at least four tracks for longer than other UK
main lines.
