Don't suppose anyone knows what will happen to the junction north of
Ashford then when St Pancras goes live? Will the spur line onto the
3rd rail network be kept for maintenance trains or will it be lifted?

I would ask whether or not all the freight (yes, I know, not a huge
amount) will approach the tunnel via HS1, or maybe that will still
require the junction.
