Default LU Stock Transfer Routes

As I remember, after using the link to Finsbury Prk Main Line, it then went
via KX York Rd (Hotel Curve on the return) and Widened Lines to Farringdon,
where it shunted across to Circle, and then to Neasden.
Obviously, this was done under Battery Loco motive power.

Wasn't there a connection from just north of Drayton Park up to the GN

main
line, and thence to the Northern at Highgate/Finchley, which was used for
stock transfers up till the late 50's when the BR freight connection was
closed?

From then until the transfer of the GN&C to BR in the 70's, how was LT

stock
on the Moorgate line moved for major overhauls?

Finsbury Park (Picadilly - Victoria)


And which AFAIK is the only place on the deep level tube lines where

trains
from different lines run side by side underground and can have a "race"
albeit for only a short distance before the tunnels diverge again.

and, once upon a time, Finsbury Park (GN&C - Northern at Highgate).


That was a foot interchange , it wasn't a physical link between the

actual
lines. That was at east finchley.
