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.

Try this too (it's a big picture):

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 think what you are talking about will be handled by the new Northern
ticket hall which is underneath the forecourt by the suburban platforms at
KX (platforms 9-11). The main entrance to/from St Pancras will eventually
shift to where the old St P shed meets the new canpoy (actually where the
interim MML station is now). See "LUL north connection subway" on the
picture linked above. This subway is also photographed on the CTRL site:

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.

Brill Place (just north of the British Library):

I went there a year or two ago and got some handouts etc. Apparently you're
supposed to book a visit before turning up but they didn't really seem to
mind me turning up out of the blue.
