Default Thameslink - Metropolitan Junction

Since Blackfriars is going to be closed for a considerable length of time,
almost three years, will LUL put up partitions at the platform edges and
allow trains to run through there at speed? What would it take to reset
the start signals to normal waysides, since now they are in essence draw
ups.


I've read that a 'steel framed box' is being built to allow building work to
proceed 24/7 around the running railway. No idea about the signalling,
although you would have to assume that the timescales would allow some
changes to be worthwhile.

Has anyone any idea where the displaced passengers have ended up, the advice
seems to be to either walk to Mansion House or Temple, or stay on train
until City Thameslink.
