My 1975 London's Railways map shows services from Broad Street
to Finsbury Park via Dalston Junction.

They went when the Northern City was connected to the GN, allowing
the services to Moorgate that FCC still run instead of the Broad
St services.

Indeed, but the tracks were not ripped up as far as I know.

Of course not but the need for the Broad St (or the replacement
Liverpool St) services was much reduced.

I have no opinion on that; just confirming that the physical
possibility is neither brand new nor ancient, which seemed to be the
question at this point.

I think the concern was that modern traffic levels, especially services
that didn't exist at the time of the GN electrification, meant that the
link no longer has enough capacity.
