I'm curious whether anybody knows if there are plans to change the
surface buildings at Kings Cross Thameslink in the longer term. The
booking hall may be cramped for its current use, but it'll be very
generous for a (presumably) relatively minor entrance to the tube
station, and I would expect the site to be of some interet to
developers

The site is owned by Network Rail. With the re-development of the area, I
wouldn't be at all surprised if the whole block will be looked at in it's
entirity to provide more office space.

What is the very last train from Kings Cross Thameslink?


Journey planner is currently showing 01:30 towards London Bridge which
sounds right.


The last southbound train on Saturdays is the 2340 from Bedford to
Blackfriars at 0055 on Sunday morning.
There are no further night trains on Saturday/Sunday night.

Then why don't FCC agree, then? They seem to think it will close at 01:12
on Sunday morning.

Make that 01:13. Not 01:08 anyway.

Is it because of the confusion caused by the TfL announcement, which seems
to imply closure at from 0200 Saturday, but probably means 0200 Sunday, ie
the end of the Saturday timetable...

Well, well. The FCC Train Times for Kings Cross Thameslink (KCM) web page
is currently showing:

Trains Last updated: 09/12/2007 01:08:24
From Timetabled
Arrival Expected
Arrival To Timetabled
Departure Expected
Departure Operator

Brighton 0106 0115 Bedford 0108 0115 First Capital Connect

(hopefully the meaning can be derived from the above pasting from a
better formatted page).

But then, by 01:11, it's gone. Meanwhile the FCC page says there are 2
minutes to go. Duh!

That appeared to be a web site glitch. The times came back after I posted
that.

According to Live Departure Boards it left KX Thameslink at 01:17. I
suspect it left at 01:18 and it was certainly running 10 minutes late at
the next two reports and 11 late at Hendon as I write (and has been much
the same since Redhill).

Anyway, the FCC countdown stopped at 01:13. We still don't know why they
chose that time.

I took it from London Bridge to KX, and that's about right. It was the
unit they've named King's Cross Thameslink, so the first one tomorrow
will presumably be StPI.

It was timetabled to leave at 1:12 (loads of people get on there), so
possibly a web monkey screwed up by one minute. The alternative theory
is that it was meant to be station closing time, 5 minutes after the
last train arrives.

Actually, in a fitting tribute to the station, what time the train actually
left or was scheduled to leave was total chaos.

National Rail Enq Live reckoned the last train was 0108, as everyone
thought. However, the info screens proclaimed the last train to be 0116 -
which is when the train turned up, and then left one or two minutes late.

The 0038 train came in and left without ever being acknowledged on the
screens at all.

There was an interesting air in the station last night, or indeed, this
morning, and most of the (slightly tipsy) regular punters were expressing no
remorse about the closure of the station. As one very loudly put it, "Good
Riddance - This place is a ********."

Well, the station has known closure once already, but this time I suspect,
no reprises.

Best Wishes,

The public times were arrive 01:06, depart 01:08. That suggests the
latter theory. The FCC countdown didn't get adjusted for reality, anyway.

Glad to see that some people in this group were there in person. I was at
home in Cambridge.
