No, they'll be essentially under the Midland Mainline station at the
northwest corner of the site. You'll come up from ground level just
underneath the current MML escalators, where you can head south
through St Pancras to the Western ticket hall, or (one day) east a bit
then down into the new tunnel to the Northern ticket hall.

Is there a drawing available on line showing the position of the
Thameslink
platforms w.r.t. the rest of the site?

Thanks for that - the reason I asked is that I have seen a few 'unofficial'
descriptions on the www of a direct link between the new Thameslink
platforms and the western ticket hall - even the very southern end of the
new stations seems quite a distance from the underground...
