I have just read the SRA's current consultation paper on services along
the Midland main line - in an appendix it briefly mentions this idea
and immediately dismisses it as unworthy of further attention. There
is no explanation for ruling it out, and with King's Cross/St.Pancras
being developed as _the_ north London rail hub, it seems such an
obvious thing to do. I intend to write in complaining about this (but
it won't do much good unless another few million people do the same
thing, of course).

Might be worthwhile getting TfL interested in the scheme. The SRA has a
legal duty to consult with TfL on such matters. Obviously TfL can't
force them, but they (in collaboration with Chiltern and perhaps even
LTUC) have more suasive power than us mere mortals.
