From Sunday Times article on the CTRL at St Pancras: ' Just as the
Midland had ploughed up corpses to build its tracks, so the new work
unearthed further remains. In fact, no fewer than 7,000 bodies came
out of the ground just north of the station.'

Were there really so many bodies found? When I asked a CTRL lecturer
last year whether any bodies had been unearthed the answer was ' yes,
a few'. I wonder which report is accurate.

The Sunday Times article is ambiguous - I think the 7000 is meant to refer
to the original construcion of the Midland Railway, but it could be read to
refer to the CTRL.

That is how I read it. It continues ' Most were from the 18th
century; one was a French archbishop, probably an escapee from the
revolution. Modern mores required that they all be treated with
respect. "We had to match them up and re-bury them last year," says
Tim Smart, acronymic client manager, "we had the local clergy along
and re-interred them in East Finchley cemetery. '. (See
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspap...860_3,00.html).

I don't believe that 7000 bodies could be reburied without some major
fuss arising. I will attempt to get an answer from CTRL public
relations.

You have to read the piece to understand the context!

No, so I tried a Google search and got, Your search - "acronymic client
manager" - did not match any documents.

So quite obviously there is no such thing.

If you see my previous reply to this question then you'll realise that
the authors tongue was firmly in his proverbial cheek.
