I was thinking today, what is going to happen to the existing Kings Cross
Thameslink when the new underground St. Pancras station opens?


Blown off the face of the earth I hope.

It has to be the worst station on the UK rail network in terms of
facilities and environment in relation to the number of passengers using
it.

If I understood a recent Modern Railways itme correctly, there is
presently some doubt as to whether or not the new KX-SP-CTRL station
will be completed ahead of TL2000 works. As the latter has yet to be
authorised, I interpreted that as it may not be opened.

I hope thats either wrong or I mis-read it.

The Thameslink route is being closed for six months over the summer with
trains to/from the north terminating at St Pancras and to/from the south
terminating at King's Cross Thameslink - so I hope they're building the
station in the meantime otherwise it's a waste of time!

AIUI St Pancras Midland Road should be ready way before TL2K.
