An aspect of this subject which has not been aired here is the fact
that St.Pancras/KX from a public transport point of view is the most
overcrowded in London and distribution of passengers from there is
extremely problematical.This is greatly exacerbated at peak times.
This problem will not be helped by the arrival of the CTRLDS and the
absence of an upgraded Thameslink (3,000?).

Perhaps you've not noticed that KX/StP is currently in the midst of a
huge rebuilding programme to address these very issues?

Which has now been cut back due to cost over-runs, so its adequacy
must be in doubt.

Exactly so. In particular, the provision for Thameslink services will
be grossly inadequate.

There won't be *any* provision for Thameslink services in the new King's
Cross/St Pancras in 2007.
