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.

Since Farringdon, and City Thameslink each have two platforms, there
would be little to gained from more platform accomodation at KX/StP.
