Do we know if Network Rail has considered converting Waterloo back

Yeah let’s reinstate every curve there ever was in London -


One assumes you jest. However:

Met line to Liverpool Street main line


Crossrail will do this better.

City Thameslink to Moorgate direct


IMHO, this one has merits. Moorgate would be a much better terminus
for the SE trains that will terminate at the new Blackfriars.

Hotel curve and York Way


New Thameslink connection to the GN does this well.
etc


Whilst DfT UK is, rightly, spending billions on Crossrail, why sneeze
at a low cost Crossrail (n) at Waterloo?
