Default CTRL St Pancras - Exhumed Bodies

Were there really so many bodies found? When I asked a CTRL lecturer
last year whether any bodies had been unearthed the answer was ' yes,
a few'. I wonder which report is accurate.

The waste land adjacent to the car park at Kings Cross (platform
9/10/11) was until recently used as a sealed area for removing remains.
The area was fenced off with either hoardings or tarpaulins so that
passing pedestrians and motorists could not see in. I believe this is
some form of legal requirement ? However from my office window we had a
birds eye view and could see lorry loads of spoil coming in and being
seived through. Fortunately we are far enough away to be of little use
to the original posters request of how many remains there really were.
Suffice to say the operation lasted ages and was continous 7 days a
week and was the source of many window gazings and quotes of "that
could be a skull" etc etc.
