Here's a thought - will the ticket office at King's Cross Thameslink
remain open? I suppose the subway is staying open so the ticket office
will have to - but will it be transferred to LU?



Why should they be transferred?


Because won't Thameslink have a completely new ticket office at St
Pancras Midland Road? Would there be any point in them running that
office at Pentonville Road when that entrance will only be particularly
useful for the Victoria Line?


The existing Kings Cross Thameslink platforms will remain open for the
present time. This is where northbound trains from Brighton will terminate
during the station case building works. If you're asking about the long term
future, I'll enquire, but with an improved tube ticket hall, a new western
ticket hall replacing the existing Metropolitan ticket hall and the strong
possibility of a Northern ticket hall, I doubt LUL will require another
ticket hall by 2007.
