- Thameslink using ECML as well as existing MML - I wonder how far north
it
will serve on the ECML

Peterborough (and King's Lynn). Services on that branch will run:
Peterborough - Horsham / East Grinstead
King's Lynn - Ashford International via Sevenoaks
Cambridge - Eastbourne / Littlehampton
Letchworth - Guildford via West Croydon.

Thanks for the ideal post with which to plug my website :-)

Glad to be able to oblige! It looks an excellent site: I've just bookmarked
it for future reference.

I was wondering how the link from the Thameslink line to the ECML would be
achieved: you explain it all. Presumably whereas the Eurostar trains will
rise from the tunnel to the platforms in the Barlow train shed, the
Thameslink lines will remain at low level to feed into the existing
low-level (underground!) Thameslink tracks just north of the St Pancras
Midland station.

Will the pedestrian connections between KX and St P Midland be an underpass
with connections from each platform, or will passengers have to walk south
onto the concourse of KX for the tunnels north-west to St P Midland?

I'll have to explore the area around KX and St P (avoiding the "working
girls"!) when I'm next in London - things have obviously changed a great
deal since I was last there about 18 months ago. Is the CTRL exhibition in
the Portakabin north of St Pancras still open? I've forgotten which road it
was on.
