I suppose there are compounding features as well, given that the

I presume its the line to Moorgate you speak of? In which case usage
will become zero come March next year when it gets disconnected as
part of the Thameslink 3000 works.

No, I was thinking of inner curve northbound from City Thameslink; the
line to Moorgate strikes me as being straighter. But one other
mitigating factor is that he trains are going over that more slowly
(because all trains stop at Farringdon) than they do around the
Liverpool loop.
