I suspect the Thameslink escalators are where they are firstly to allow
easy
change between MML and Thameslink (FCC) services,

For which the demand mist be ,minimal since they noth servce the same
line!

I did think about that before suggesting it, as that seems to be the case
for southbound journies to London, but as Thameslink capacity gradually
increases, won't they expect more transfers from/to South of London
destinations into/from the longer distance MML services?

If you are travelling to a destination north of Bedford, currently it
is easier to change at Luton Airport Parkway, Luton or Bedford in most
cases, rather than trudge through the passageways and hike to the MML
platforms at St Pancras.

With the new station open, changing at St Pancras becomes easier,
although still not as easy as a same-platform change at LAP.
