We can't stop at Barbican and Moorgate any more

First Capital Connect Thameslink route trains no longer call at Barbican and Moorgate stations; the route closed for good on 22 March 2009. Great Northern services are unaffected and will continue to call at Moorgate.
How can you cope? You can connect onto the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines at Farringdon.

So tell me WHY you can’t stop at Barbican and Moorgate stations any longer?

The Moorgate Thameslink route branch line had to close on 22 March 2009 so that a new timetable could be brought in that allows Network Rail to close three platforms at Blackfriars and start rebuilding the station. The branch also had to close for Network Rail to extend the Farringdon station platforms later in the year... Why close the branch line?
