I am trying to picture where that would be. Somewhere near the

Sorry, I linked to the wrong page:http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/s...rk/index.shtml
The street map on that page shows the route of the viaduct through the
park.
The first two photos here show what the junction looked like from the
branch end, facing the park:http://overground.doeth.net/heights/
The ECML runs left to right underneath the bridges. Northbound trains
arrive from the ramp on the right, directly from the main ECML
formation. Southbound trains turn left, crossing the whole main line,
then use the viaduct alongside the park to reach FP station.
The Northern Heights plan would have had both lines crossing over,
then extended the viaduct through Station Place (where the fancy new
canopy is today) to join the Northern City without using the ECML.
Thanks. It's interesting that the movements were stopped due to the
condition of the bridge. A similarly arranged flyover bridge was
demolished in Putney due to its condition (although the other track
remains in use). I wonder if a particular design had problems or it
was just down to neglect.
