Alternatively, whack in a second portal or a flyover or whatever, and

I'll throw in this idea: it could be used by a future high speed
inter-city line, as part of its route from the city to the outskirts,
saving lots of expensive tunnelling.

Broad Street to Glasgow! The thing is, it would only save a few miles of
tunnelling, and would make the portal arrangements more complicated, so it
probably doesn't work out worth doing.

I'm trying to think of a way to connect it to the soon-to-be-abandoned
Farringdon - Moorgate stretch of the Widened Lines. Oh, and a reason to do
so!
