I forgot to ask (didn't occur to me at the time that Moorgate was shut
at weekends) but if I were a betting man, I'd guess they would run at
weekends if TfL stepped in with funding. Possibly not such a frequent
service, but a service nonetheless.

There is also the issue that (proportional) demand for interchange at
King's Cross will probably be greater at weekends, with people heading for
the West End,

True.

the museums in South Ken

Are they really that big a traffic generator?

South Ken is the 18th busiest Underground station (for entries and exits),
ahead of places like Tower Hill, Moorgate and Westminster. They're not all
coming to Imperial...

Wow. That's a surprising statistic. 18th busiest overall, not just at
weekends? Most impressive!

and crossing to other terminals.

But for some reason not Liverpoool Street, Fenchurch Street or London
Bridge, i suppose.

I imagine that most people heading from the suburban Great Northern stations
out to the east / south east will drive.

They're certainly much more likely to do so if they can't take the train.
