In the foreground, the East Coast Mainline out of Kings Cross emerges from Gasworks Tunnel, the first tunnel of its climb northwards. In the middle distance, the high-speed line from St Pancras International to the Channel Tunnel and beyond (HS1) crosses in a tube that forms the beginning of its long tunnel to Stratford International. Beyond, and still higher up, runs the North London Line, now part of London Overground, whose catenary is just visible in the top left of the picture. Beyond all this, the tower of the former Metropolitan Cattle Market.
