Those may have come later, of course. They were not BR(GN) served before

Are you suggesting an arrangement existed before 1976 then?


I can't answer these questions, but a couple of things are worth
drawing attention to to help focus.

Firstly, Finsbury Park to Moorgate via Northern City did have evening
and Sunday services for many years. It's relatively recently that
they've stopped, and certainly doesn't go back to the 1970s.

Secondly, as far as I know, there were services from the Bedpan line
to Moorgate much later as well, I think until Thameslink started in
about 1988. So it was possible to go via Kings Cross to Moorgate
using only BR, with a change.

Thirdly, I think both GN and Bedpan services to Moorgate via Widened
Lines were always peak only, so any arrangement would only be
replacing peak services, not all-day services. So if there was an
arrangement allowing use of the Underground, it might have applied off-
peak in any case even when there were GN services to Moorgate via
Widenend Lines.
