Does anyone know if the St Pancras Thameslink platforms (which open at the
end of the year) will have direct access to the underground via the western
ticket hall?


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.

There better be a very wide gateline then - at least at KCM you can
avoid the gates if you wish to use the nearby LUL station. Damn that
non-existant travelator!

On a side note the new Thameslink station will (like the station above)
be called St Pancras International.


Who has announced that?
