Talk:Moorgate station

message: Question: if First Capital Connect wanted to, could class 313s operate into the sub-surface station, and classes 319/365 operate into the deep-level station (and indeed, any other 750V DC units)?
: When you say sub-surface, do you mean platforms 5 & 6 ? (They're closed permanently now, so this is purely an academic question).  There are issues here, as 313s are GN only units and platforms 5 & 6 were on the Thameslink route. So either Thameslink  drivers would have had to learn 313 traction, or GN drivers would have had to learn the Thameslink route. And the 313s would have had to have been moved onto the Thameslink side of Operations - all a bit time consuming, costly and pointless really. 
:Class 319s could not work over the NCL because although they are dual-voltage they don't have tripcock mechanisms. Class 365s couldn't work over the NCL because they (i) are AC traction only (ii) lack tripcock mechanisms (iii) don't have emergency end doors (which would exclude them from both of the Moorgate stations because of restrictions concerned with the single bore tunnels).
:W.r.t. the Northern City Line, only class 313s have route clearance down the NCL, so FCC wouldn't be allowed to take any other stock down there. The NCL has its own special set of Rules governing stock and operational procedures due to the infrastructure being LUL equipment but with mainline trains running over it (I'm intending to write a section about this soon).  Hope this helps. Fu Manchuchu (talk) 18:06, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

message: If you're thinking of removing info relating to First Capital Connect, please read carefully.  I will only say this once:
* FCC Thameslink services (peak hours only) from Moorgate to Farringdon, Luton & Bedford have been withdrawn.
* FCC Great Northern City Line services (Mon-Fri only) from Moorgate to Old Street, Finsbury Park and Welwyn have not, and are not planned to be withdrawn.
:* In summary, please stop removing references to any current National Rail service from the station. Thank you. --Peeky44 (talk) 08:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: "The line was extended to Angel the following year with services to London Midland Region (LMR) destinations using the Midland Main Line and Eastern Region (ER) destinations using the East Coast Main Line (ECML) (accessed via the York Road Curve and Hotel Curve to King's Cross)."
Does the author suggest that main line trains ran on the tube or that tube trains ran on the main line? What has an extension to Angel (not King's Cross) to do with main lines?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 13:39, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a bit mixed up. The only line that ever served Angel was the C&SLR (the present Northern Line City branch); and Northern Line trains have never run beyond the present termini of Edgware, Mill Hill East and High Barnet. Prior to the transfer of the Northern City Line from London Transport to British Rail in the 1970s, through services from Moorgate to the main-line railways ran via Barbican and Farringdon. The tunnels on the route via Barbican is large enough for main-line trains: and indeed, that is how they were operated - trains of the Midland Railway, Great Northern Railway, or their successors (LMS, LNER, British Railways). --Redrose64 (talk) 18:32, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Extension

message: This part's obscure too. The significance of the new Liverpool Street ticket-office needs to be explained. The hint about an 'interchange' may mean that Moorgate and Liverpool Street will become one station, like Bank and Monument. If so, this should be said, rather than hints about ticket-offices and interchanges (whatever they are).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 13:44, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi all. At the moment we say "No National Rail trains operate to Moorgate on Saturdays and Sundays" but I'm currently sitting on an FCC train I got on at HHY and I'm heading for BOP. I was very very surprised to find the platforms open. When did this change?? Best wishes to all DBaK (talk) 17:33, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no service on the Northern Line between Camden Town and Kennington (via Bank) today and tomorrow, because of engineering work, so perhaps they're running FCC trains to Moorgate to cover for that. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:03, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Moorgate station's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "culgmetropolitan":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:26, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
