But John Band said there were 16 trains doing GN - Broad Street
in the peaks! That's probably 8 tph, which seems decent. Now,
that was from 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!

The present Drayton Park station is the original in the original cutting.

The Canonbury Curve route is, as it always has been, on the surface
nearby.
