But it has to be closed to be able to extend the platform at Farringdon.

It does not have to be closed. The plan is to close it because,
apparently, of a RI diktat regarding level platforms.

The bit of track north of the station is *very* steep, however; if not
the steepest on the national network, at least in the top 5.

It is indeed steep. However, I very much doubt if it as steep as the
ramps on the profiled platforms in manchester.
