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?

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.

Ah... You mean, the Thamelsink customers are putting up with this
blockade, and they aren't even going to get a new interchange station
out of it? Just the option of a vague possibility of a new interchange
station at some unspecified point in the future...
