I for one hope that Kings Cross Thameslink remains
open when St Pancras Thamselink station opens as it provides useful
connections to the Underground which the new station will not have.
Although they will be a quite near each other the distance will still
be further then between Blackfriars and City Thameslink. Though Kings
Cross Thameslink will have to close if train lengths ever got
increased to 12, nevertheless while the whole Thameslink 2000 project
remains in abeyance they should not close the station.

Faringdon is a far better interchange with LU. The odds are that you
can get from there to where you want to be quicker than walking from the
new Thameslink St Pancras station.

Not from where I sit. Links from Thameslink to WAGN will not be easier as
far as I can see. However, unless they improve Thameslink cross-London
transit times it will still be quicker to go to Victoria and take the
Victoria Line to the Cross. Rather undermines the point of Thameslink.
