Thameslink 'BOX'
 

Went through the tunnel today and passed through the big box. Interesting to
see whats going on. Nothing really.
There are lights on so you can see the interior walls and other bits and
pieces.
Also daylight through a few large holes. Dont panic, they look engineered.
Looks like a spur going off to St Pancras....but i'm sure there
isn't...anyone know?
Then we have the stop at Kentish town for a staff member to get off and 100
people at Kentish town trying to get on. Pushing the buttons to no avail
getting frustrated. This seems a very silly idea. Can only lead to problems
for staff from people who can't understand why they cant get on. Should
have seen the poor lot tonight standing in the rain........There is plenty
of time to make it a stop, but then i'm a customer and i think the
management see it different to us travellers.

The box is there and there are a few access shafts plus the stairs ready
for final.
Either side of the track is a plywood hoarding to allow the construction
work to continue.
Not a lot else to see except that the track is a concrete slab with
Pandrol vanguard (IIRC) fixings.

P.S. were the tunnel lights on when you went through?

John Alexander,


Lights were on in the box - not in the tunnel. Both in this morning and out
this evening.

There are two connecting tunnels at the North end towards the ECML.
