The Northern Heights trackbed could easily be reclaimed all the way up to Mill Hill and Alexandra Palace. There are a few buildings on it, most notably a prefab school and an old people's home, but no housing estates or anything like that. In fact, some of the platforms are still there. At the north of Finsbury Park, the site of the flying junction over the ECML can easily be seen.There are still many many jobs in the City of London, and I can't see that changing overnight. The overcrowding lines on the Northern Line are there to see. Still, a terminus at Moorgate is only going to see five-days a week usage, so in the dim and distant future at Moorgate extend SW to St Paul's, Ludgate Circus, Aldwych, Charing Cross, Green Park, Hyde Park Corner, Knightsbridge, Albert Hall, High Street Kensington, Kensington Olympia, and points west. Now you have a 7-days-a-week line serving work and leisure destinations in the City and West End. |
