There would still have been a 2 track junction (pinch point) at the west end
of Camden Rd anyway.
If you read all the articles on the ORR site you'll see NR firmly believe
all the usable freight paths are still available, because for the odd few
hours when the Stratford - Camden half hourly service will still run it
coincides with peaks on the GE and WCML slows, which prevent the freight
running onto and off the NLL anyway...
