As an aside, how do trains on the ECML get south of the river, where's the
link to the current thameslink route?
Trains from the north either terminate at King's Cross or go to a through
station under St Pancras. To reach the latter, a tunnel was burrowed under
the canal to the north of St Pancras.
The two Canal Tunnels, actually, built over a decade ago.
They're unfortunately named. A canal tunnel used to be for waterborne vessels.

I agree, and it's also a rather ambiguous name: one that linked it to the
area might have been better (eg, St Pancras tunnels?).
I was referring to the one for north to south traffic;
obviously, there's another for the other direction.
Well, it might have been a double-track tunnel.
