Blackfriars - London Bridge
I think these https://binged.it/2pU46wi are the tracks the OP is talking about.
Wouldn't have Thameslink services from Blackfriars to London Bridge used these tracks before the extensive constructions works at LBG began in 2015? |

That's a very old, pre-Shard image, of course. I'm amazed Bing still has such old images. Here's Google's slightly newer version (which is still quite out-of-date): ,19z/data=!3m1!1e3 Here's some later pics I took shortly after the new viaduct was brought into use and the link to Blackfriars was cut: https://www.flickr.com/photos/reclin...7663213445225/ |

Look on google earth. Presumably you mean the (currently unused) link from Blackfriars to London Bridge, which used to share the tracks from Charing X to London Bridge? |
