The Snow Hill link from Farringdon to Ludgate Hill opened at the beginning of 1866, and the third side of the triangle from Snow Hill to Aldersgate came into use in September 1871. Broad Gauge GWR trains ran to Moorgate until 14 March 1869, but it is unclear whether they used the original Met lines, crossed to the Widened Lines at Farringdon, or even crossed to the Widened Lines at Kings Cross (from early 1868) - if there was actually a connection from the Met to the Widened Lines at Kings Cross. I don't know if this is what you're talking about , but just west of the eastbound met line platform at kings cross there is a disused tunnel coming from the north that joins the main running line.
