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.


They're terminating at Blackfriars because there won't be enough room for
them through City Thameslink...
