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.

I think there may be some confusion-due-to-judicious-snipping taking
place.

There is capacity at present to use KX as the sole London ECML
terminus at weekends. We know this, because it's what happens every
weekend.

However, there is not capacity to run all ECML trains into KX during
the weekday peaks, which is (one of the reasons) why some of them run
into Moorgate instead.
