**Moorgate has a strange alignment, as if the track was realigned
after the station was built, so the track is curved and the wall isn't.

Moorgate (or Moorgate Street as it then was) was built as the temporary
northern terminus of the City & South London Line in 1900, and
originally had a scissors crossover (with signal box above) and a
locomotive spur for emergency use. The track was realigned a little less
than two years later when the extension to Angel opened.
