IIRC, and it was a LONG time ago: DMUs ran through to the Midland
Suburban area from Moorgate. Loco hauled stock ran thru to the GN
suburbs. At some point the GN trains changed over to DMU and then
ceased altogether, and the tunels up thru Kings Cross Closed.

The down tunnel was particularly interesting because the trains
literally came up Hotel Curve, into the platfrom, on the suburban
side
of Kings Cross. It was a sight to behold. I remember feeling some
regret when the service ended.

There were loco-hauled GN trains until the service ceased for the GN
electrification. They were the last non-corridor suburban stock too.
