Not by direct rail, no, but there was a wagon hoist between them.

thanks Clive;

presumably the St Mary's curve is now permanently OOU as the new
stock will not be compatible?

If the ELL is being maintained by LU then the curve is likely to be
needed for access by engineering trains. If the curve is double-track
(I've never been down that way) then there would probably be room for
NR-sized stock to use it if it was singled (or interlaced?) but
further clearance issues for e.g. anything Mk3-sized would apply on LU
but IIRC would not totally prevent passage over the north side of the
Circle Line if stock was taken to various LU depots.

I believe it's double track, but with such tight clearances that A and D
stock trains are not allowed to pass each other on the curve. It's not a
problem when only ECS and maintenance trains use it.
