Default Thameslink and LUL changes in King's Cross

Why are they closing this station in the first place?


Because it's too small (both in terms of platform length and in
general) and can't be easily extended. They've built a replacement
under St Pancras a short distance away.

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


They'll continue to run through it, but won't stop.

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


Presumably the platforms etc will be removed in due course. The
station entrance will stay open as an alternative entrance to the tube
station.
