Yup, this was called the Coppermill Curve.


Sorry, complete reading failure there. That's the exact opposite of the
Coppermill Curve!


It was the Hall Farm Curve, if you want to look it up (there was a
campaign a year or two back to reopen it in time for the Olympics -
one proposal was for all Chingford trains to (permanently) run via
Stratford, freeing capacity on the main West Anglia line).

There must be capacity (not necessarily spare) on the GEML as some
trains on the fast lines to/from the Hackney Downs route cross to/from
the Main lines at Bethnal Green East Junction. Rearrangement of the
services would allow these paths to be used to/from Stratford and onto
the Lea Bridge route instead.
