The Widened Lines (also known as the City Widened Lines; formerly known as the Moorgate Line) is a double-track railway line forming part of the Thameslink route between St Pancras and Farringdon within Central London. For most of their life the Widened Lines ran from King's Cross to Moorgate, and were completed in 1866 when the Metropolitan Railway was widened from two to four tracks between King's Cross and Farringdon (hence the widened name) and a four-track railway opened from there to Moorgate.

  • Die Widened Lines (auch City Widened Lines) war eine Eisenbahnstrecke in London, die zwischen 1866 und 1868 eröffnet wurde und parallel zur heutigen Metropolitan Line, einer der ersten Untergrundbahnen der Welt, verlief. Die von der Metropolitan Railway gebaute Strecke bot Zügen anderer Eisenbahngesellschaften die Möglichkeit, von Kopfbahnhöfen am Rande der Innenstadt die City of London zu erreichen. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts zählten die Widened Lines zu den verkehrsreichsten Eisenbahnstrecken der Welt. Bedingt durch die Konkurrenz anderer Verkehrsmittel setzte Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts ein Bedeutungsverlust der Strecke ein, der sich bis in die 1970er Jahre fortsetzte. In der Gegenwart wird ein Teil der Widened Lines von Thameslink genutzt. (de)
