I think that various people from time to time have suggested that the redundant track could be turned into some sort of cheapo Crossrail scheme, but in order to get anywhere, it would be necessary to dive down between Farringdon and Barbican, and between Barbican and Moorgate, so at the end of the day all that extra work would get you just one free station (Barbican).The problem is that Liverpool Street is a much more important destination than Moorgate, so extra eastbound trains turning round at Moorgate are not much use. Also, Liverpool Street is the problem, not Moorgate. Liverpool Street is a cramped station (no chance of squeezing in extra platforms above or below the current ones) leading to several flat junctions. Thats where the money should be spent, reorganising services and eliminating these. |
