Also the logical conclusion would be to terminate the line in the middle platforms at east finchley but then the HSE would start to wet themselves about having tube and mainline trains in the same vacinity so that probably wouldn't be allowed (much safer to allow people to travel by road to Highgate obviously). Out of curiosity, what would be the problem for the HSE here? Is it that the different trains are sharing adjacent platforms? What about the likes of Wimbledon where this already happens? What would be the specific safety concerns? Thanks, Dan |

These are the same platforms that the ELL would run into if it was extended there. PLus these tracks also lead to the northern lines highgate depot. B2003 |

Tube stock and mainline trains share the same metals between Queens Park and Harrow don't they? |
