Had a letter today from the Thameslink people telling me they were
reopening the line through London on 16 May.

Will there be anything different to see? I take it the new St Pancras
station won't be open yet, but I want to go to Kentish Town anyway for
another reason, and am wondering if it will be worth postponing my trip
until 16 May, and whether there will be anything different to see if I
do?

Much more interesting to do the trip before the 16th via St Pancras;
that you can get views of various bits of the CTRL station works (even
more if you take a walk around the edges of the building sites). From
Thameslink the most you are likely to see is a pair of uncompleted
platforms and the opening into the new tunnel, both probably lit only
by the light from the train windows.
