What is going to happen with the FCC Thameslink bays at Moorgate
once the last train leaves, which I understand will be on 20 March.

That's what most of this thread is about. They will remain available
for several months, but no passenger trains are likely to use them.
After the junction at Farringdon is severed, the consensus here is
that there will then be no rail use for them.

I like the shopping mall idea, as mentioned above! But they'll probably
just sit there derelict for years.

The best idea i've come up with is to use them to extend the DLR from Bank
to Farringdon. I'm not entirely sure how you get from Farringdon to
Moorgate, though - might need to do a lap round Finsbury Circus to gain
enough altitude.
