But John Band said there were 16 trains doing GN - Broad Street in the

the GN to the Canonbury Curve (well, the bit north of the curve proper
- the Canonbury Straight?), but all it would take is a pair of
crossovers south of the junction with the mainline to get those trains
onto the GN&CR.

The GN&CR is in a deep cutting at this point, presumably deep enough to
go under the Canonbury Curve tracks to reach the old deep-level station.
Building a connection would have been (and apparently was) a major
project.

Aaaah, okay. So the original Drayton Park on the GN&CR was at the bottom
of a cutting, with tubes at either end going to Moorgate and Finsbury
Park. Yes, that stitches it up pretty tight!
