The platforms are A and B (which in itself is rather confusing when
other St Pancras platforms are numbered) so the whole thing is a bit
of a mess. I know King's Cross TL was A and B, but what was the
reasoning for keeping that for an all-new station up the road?


Hadn't realised that, I thought they'd be 14 & 15 or so...

I hadn't thought about the possible confusion with the use of 'zone
2,3', but now I can certainly see how someone might - if only for a
short time - get confused by the meaning.

Still, while their train indicators are still showing trains in the
wrong order (and not being consistent on times at all),


IIRC that is not the fault of the new set up, the PIS on the whole route
through London Bridge and the Thameslink route has suffered from that for
ages...

the Journey
Check (Nexus Alpha) service hasn't got any FCC trains listed at all
for St Pancras International. All you get are East Midland trains! Not
very good for checking your train is running or not.
