So, why do we have the current Thameslink blockade? Isn't it to do with
needing possession of the line to create the provision of new Thameslink
interchange services? And if they're not going ahead with the
provision, why bother with blockading the line in the first place?


It is in order to excavate the area where the new St. Pancras Midland Road
station will be and to install the concrete box into which the station will
(eventually) be installed and fitted out. Imagine City Thameslink with
nothing there apart from walls.
