Don't go through here very much these days, but noticed today what

As I understand it, Farringdon will remain the normal change over
spot, but the extension of the wires to City Thameslink will allow any
unit which has a problem switching from AC to DC to reverse at City
Thameslink and return north. At the moment any unit with this problem
can still access Moorgate to reverse, but the branch will be
decommissioned in December.
