    Rather it were part of a complete ECML South from King's Cross to Peterborough, ideally including the branch to Moorgate as suggested here. However given DTG's reluctancy to head back south (even though this route is really Eastern region still) I doubt we'll see it anytime soon unfortunately.

    If we get a southern ECML of any capacity London - Peterborough should be the priority

    No because it only stops at Stevenage so it would be AI

    May as well get kings x in the route since it's less than a mile added (I think)
