I wonder if they'll "unwind" the tunnels and revert Bank to left hand running?

That's not in the plan. I went to see the exhibition at the time and
looked at the cut away models they'd done to show how it all fits
together.

Odd. I'd have thought that an obvious thing to do to speed up the service
since it crawls around the bends going south.

Unfortunately Crossrail and the new Moorgate/ Liv St station
completely blocks the ability to extend the GN tunnels. "Money no
object" is overridden by "physically impossible".

Oh well. It would never have happened anyway.
