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.

If you look over the wall at Kings Cross Thameslink you'll see the
other two platforms. They haven't been used since 1940 when the
station was Kings Cross Met/Circle station but no significant removal
work has been carried out so I wouldn't expect much more than removal
of the platform edging to take place.
