I notice that one small part of this project has now happened - there
is now a new, devious, subway from the northern end of the Picc
platforms leading to the existing route to the Vic and TL platforms.
The old subway is closed off. Obviously this has been done to allow
the route from the new ticket hall to the Picc and other platforms to
be constructed but the new subway is part of the final plan.


I noticed this the other day, haven't had a look yet though. I assume the
subway joins the exsisting tunnel further down?

Yes, about 2/3 of the way to the Victoria line.

What is happening to the Thameslink tunnel once Thameslink move in a few
weeks?

LU take over the Pentonville Road entrance and staff it as it is a secondary
means of escape until the Northern ticket hall is opened, at the very
earliest.

I would guess it has a long term future serving local residents and
workers; there will be more of the latter as the area become
regenerated..
