AIUI, all FCC trains that terminate in King's Cross during weekday

I'm not sure what will happen at weekends and evenings (when FCC local
services currently also run into KX instead of Moorgate).


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


Having just slogged through all the planning documentation for the new KX
ticket hall, its all been designed for 12 tph suburban and 7 tph long
distance. I can't believe they are designing KX on the basis that these 12
services will disappear as soon as Thameslink is completed, so are these
suburban services going to be additional, if all current services are due to
go down the Thameslink route when its finished?


Well, the *ticket hall* can sell tickets for trains in the main shed
or Thameslink, doesn't matter which, I assume.
