The GNR sought running powers over the Canonbury Curve and
into Broad Street, but the LNWR prevented the North London granting these.
Accordingly the GNR invited the NLR to run trains from Broad Street out to
its suburban stations.

I have seen photographs of LMS locomotives operating trains amongst
LNER trains. The coaches were presumably LMS coaches too, possibly
former NLR coaches. IIRC this lasted until the early 1930s, when the
LNER took over at least the locomotives. I could be wrong about the
date though and it may have lasted into the 1950s.
