Moorgate beyond Thameslink

Is there a suitable/cost effective way of LUL using the additional spare
platforms at Moorgate station once the Thameslink services no longer use the
branch?

I don't think so. LU already have two extra platforms at Moorgate that are
rarely used so there is no reason why they would need another two.

Extend the DLR from Bank to Moorgate, Barbican and Farringdon.
Terminate at cross platform interchange on existing LUL carriage
sidings at Farringdon. Direct link from City Airport etc.

Isn't the DLR at Bank a) too deep, b) facing the wrong way, and c)
blocked by the bank of England's vaults even if those two problems
could be overcome? I think that one might be a bit of a non-starter I'm
afraid.

Never work, too much like common sense.

Yes, stuff from say 1960 that has long since been retired from normal
service.

Oh, hang on a mo......

I would rebuild Barbican into two island platforms like Edgware Road so
it could regulate the flow of trains and hold them in the platforms
rather than as now, when there's a hold up, in the tunnels.

Oh and er.. better stairs and more shops at Moorgate. (Phew back on
thread!)
