I know that the purpose of King's Cross Thameslink after December 9 has
been discussed at length on Usenet before, but it looks like TfL have
finally published some information related to this issue on the KXSP
project pages.

Shortly after the last FCC service departs from KCM at 01:06 LUL will
claim ownership of the station, which thereafter will be open 07:00-20:00,
Mon-Fri. They do not say whether they will man the ticket offices and/or
if they will install any self-service ticket machines there.

According to the local press in Hertfordshire, First Capital Connect will
name one of their trains 'King's Cross Thameslink' at Brighton on December
5 and another 'St Pancras International' at Bedford on December 9; in
addition, the Transport Secretary will 'officially' open the new
Thameslink facilities at London St Pancras in front of 100 guests on
December 10. (http://tinyurl.com/399aly)

Almost forgot - TfL have just published a Nov07-Apr08 newletter about NTH
works progress at KXSP on the project pages. (http://tinyurl.com/38ftxu)

Must admit that I don't understand all of what is going on here.

Why are they closing this station in the first place?

Will FCC trains keep to their original route and simply bypass that station
or are there plans for a reroute?

What are LUL's eventual plans for the station once it is closed, Crossrail?
