Presumably there will be capacity in the current suburban trainshed, once
vacated by outer suburban services.


There is capacity today, even before displacing the outer suburbans!


I'm sorry? capacity for another six tph into Kings Cross? There's
already too much sharing of platforms 9-11 by two separate services,
GNER don't want their turnaround time cut and they're introducing an
extra Leeds service. If you squeezed in the Moorgate services too
there'd be absolutely no margin for error of any kind.


All I'm saying is that the trains manage to squeeze into KX today, even
at the weekend with the Moorgate services.
