There appears to be a eastwards single track link between Harringay
and the Goblin:

...though there's no easy way for southbound trains to use it to go
east without reversing, if that's what you meant.

The electrics issue should have been sorted out by now, and I think
it'll happen once a few hands are eventually forcing into writing some
cheques, and the diverted sleepers must surely fall into the somewhat
rare category. Though I've got nothing to back that assertion up. :)

If TPTB felt so inclined, I guess they could link to the MML at West
Hampstead or ideally, near the Goblin's link:
