So there might be a case for diverting HEx (in tunnel, not wandering
all round Cricklewood) to St Pancras.


Would this be a new station at St Pancras, or maybe sharing the Kent
domestic platforms, which might be over-specified. On the other
hand, if Thameslink2012 does in fact include through-running from
the GN services on the ECML, there will greater spare capacity at KX.


I envisage an underground terminus, possibly double ended, with one
entrance from the concourse at St Pancras (near the access to the
Thameslink platforms, and another with an entrance from Euston (may
need a travelator).


It makes more sense to extend the Kent domestics from St P to Heathrow, with
a reversal at St P.
