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.

Although Thameslink does have its own new ticket office in St Pancras
(shared with MML and the kent Domestics).

We need a British version of "Bullet Train". How about "Knife Train"?

Isn't a Javelin just a very long knife?

Try slicing something with a javelin.

What about cyclists?! This is what I've been asking about and
haven't been getting intelligent answers.

Its all covered in the weeds of the planning documents on LB
Camden's website - but there is no single summary I can find.
Various drawings show bike storage, the largest is at the north end
of platform 8, for about 84 'bike stores', some at the station
(south) front, and various indications in the text that the main
Camden cycle routes are accessible from between KX and St Pancras,
and capacity is doubling from the current level, which is in line
with research so far. I'm also guessing that cycle capacity in the
design allows for the eventual shift of services to the Thameslink
side of St Pancras, may be there is provision in their project
too...

Cycle storage has nothing whatsoever to do with access by cyclists
between the local road system and trains! The present approaches are
hardly cycle-friendly, though, in the other direction, from the suburban
station (platforms 9-11) it's not bad.

Cosh train?

Since we're moving away from Waterloo, perhaps we could stick two fingers
up at the French by calling it the Arrow Train instead .

More a kind of dart - and someone else already used that for a form of
transport.

We've already had the "Golden Arrow". How about "The Longbow" instead?
