I know new platforms have been added but how much spare capacity does
Marylebone and the approaches have?


And is it more or less than St Pancras?


Which bit of St Pancras and why?


The domestic bit - to reflect on a 45 year old irony if the GC's ended
up with a more quality London terminus than its rival the Midland.

(Just a pity the GC only has a few miles of line ...)


Yes, kinda, sorta! But, the route is well position to be part of
future rail developments. There is need to take freight off the
classic routes. And, the GC GW joint is likely to be further
developped.
