What sort of junction is there going to be, to the north of St Pancras
Low Level? Is it flat, or non-conflicting?

It's a dive-under I think.

Yes - it's a totally non-conflicting junction - from the north end of the
SPILL platforms you can actually see the track-less GN connection tunnels
snake off into the distance, all ready and waiting. (A quick search failed
to find a photo, but it's all there.)

Well, it's a non-conflicting junction in terms of northbound and southbound
trains - at a train every two minutes the southbound services (from the MML
and the GN) are still going to have to be made to mesh together - I can
foresee it being quite normal for a train to have to wait at some point just
north of St Pancras for a minute or so until it's got a clear road ahead
into St Pancras and on south through the Thameslink core.
