Please avoid using Kings Cross underground station, if possible


Kentish Town or West Hampstead provide useful interchanges onto LUL,
but some clever person has decided Thameslink services will not call
at these stations between 07.30 and 09.30 to prevent overcrowding.
Doesn't make much sense to me as this means all passengers will be
forced into the Kings Cross/St Pancras area making the overcrowding
there 3 times worse.

Thameslink didn't want this. It was at the insistance of LUL as they stated
that the platforms at West Hampstead and Kentish Town underground stations
cannot safely handle large numbers of pax.
