Surely the link was *designed* for regular use - it just never got used
in regular service because of the abandonment of the Northern Heights
scheme? IIRC only one of the two ramps between Drayton Park to Finsbury
Park High Level was completed, with a fairly steepish incline of 1:50 -
the other would have been 1:45.


AIUI the Northern Heights tracks would have both continued parallel
along the east side of Finsbury Park station on a new viaduct (which was
partially built, since demolished). I don't think it involved a direct
connection to the ECML, though I'm by no means an expert on the subject.
