Oh yeah forgot that one was easy.

There will still be Smithfield sidings of course, but quite often that's already occupied. Additionally the closure of Moorgate means the loss of overnight central London berthing for 4 units; a significant factor when coupled with the fact that nothing can be berthed at Blackfriars either. I expect they're sorry they ripped up the DMU roads at Cricklewood now

I haven't seen Smithfield sidings for a few years, but there was never anything in there during the daytime off peak, unless a unit broke (the south eastern units that terminated at City headed south out of the sidings). That said, as they are only 8-car roads it is limiting. Granted this is a small operating window but you have to live with what you have. I think the Goods roads at Cricklewood will see more use in the short term with IMO a rebuild of the former yard as a must (but I doubt it will ever happen)

Is this the big station project (at Luton) looked at a 5 or so years ago? I seem to remember everyone sold their properties except one pub owner who was determined not to.
