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...


Maybe they're trying to avoid a Stratford-style mess of random
platform numbers. When the Kent services start, it would be nice if
_all_ the High Level platforms could be numbered from 1 to [whatever],
in order.

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...

All modern PIS systems, everywhere, suffer like that when there are a
lot of delays on the line. It's just more noticeable on Thameslink,
because the route is more vulnerable to performance pollution.
