I would be surprised if during the forthcoming weekend closures of the
core Thameslink route didn't invlove the renewal of *at least* most of
the track along the whole stretch, including the legendary Hotel Curve.


What's the Hotel Curve?

Its the disused route for down trains from just north of KXTL to the west
side of the Kings Cross layout, now containing a gas main as part of the
preparatory works for the northern ticket hall. So it may not be involved in
any track relaying. The opposite direction route was the York Road curve.
