Not *in*, but *under*, St. Pancras though, surely? The lack of
provision will be the distance of the new Thameslink station from
King's Cross main line station - certainly no closer, and possibly
even further from parts of King's Cross than the current Thameslink
station is.
Are you sure? The new St Pancras station has shown how close KX
platforms 9-11 are to the outside world, if you don't go via platform 8.
Where is the most south-easterly exit for the new Thameslink station
proposed to be?
Looking at the plans, the exit appears to be under the far side of the
new (i.e. still to be) built MML platforms on the west side of the
"new" St. Pancras - so not ideal, compared to the more costly rejected
option of siting the Thameslink station in a new tunnel under Pancras
Road, instead of using the existing tunnel under Midland Road.
