Default Kings Cross -progress on platform Y?

I had an opportunty to wander around KX on Friday. Most of the area
along the most eastern side is now blocked off as a work site, and
scaffolding is all over the outside along York Way. No sign of work in
Engine sidings.
Has 'Platform Y' been approved, and I'm seeing 'preliminary works?

Think I might have found answer in this press release:

Costain Secures King's Cross Station Upgrade Contract 9 May 2007
Costain announces that, in joint venture with Laing O'Rourke, it has
secured the £30m King's
Cross Eastern Range and Platform Y contract awarded by Network Rail.

So does anybody know the timescale for completion?
