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.


There is nothing in City Thameslink except walls, and a chocolate machine.
