I believe that they are being decommisioned, but I could be wrong!

With the introduction of the S Stock, the crossover at Farringdon will also (AFAIK) not be used. The trains are of course longer than C Stock, so when sitting the EB platform, are actually on top of the crossover, resulting in not being able to reverse EB - WB. Also if a train was to reverse WB - EB at Farringdon, the front of the train would overshoot the headwall of the EB platform after reversing into the platform. However, I'm not sure whether it will become normal (in an EB - WB reversal), for trains to move east so that the rear of the train is in the right place to reverse back onto the WB track.
Sad to see reversing facilities lost at Farringdon. I think the same is happening at Liverpool Street.

Suspect it will be a Crossrail construction site for a while then development land

I think you may find this is already the case now with A and C stocks. |

Was surprised to see 2 C stock trains in Farringdon sidings this afternoon.
