I gather some tests have been planned/undertaken today although I have
no idea of the scope of them.

Without any signalling alterations, it would involve scotching and
clipping the point blades in position as required. So it would be a
normal signalled move into the sidings, someone to secure the left
hand point blade into position and then authorise the driver to make
the move into the eastbound platform. In these sidings they are two
separate blades so as to create a catch points effect when neither of
them are set.

I'm not too sure about the passenger benefits of extending to WGN only
- pity we can't get to Finsbury Park, at least then we would be linked
back into the network.

Yes, all that work in the 1960s, and nobody thought of putting a
cross-over in....

or of creating a siding in the stub to Drayton Park that was abandoned.
:-(

However, if they had, would it have allowed access for reversal without
considerable new construction? I am more surprised in retrospect that no
running connection between the Piccadilly and Victoria lines was put in
which would have been trivially simple.
