Travelling on First Capital Connect, between St Pancras and Farringdon

closed as part of the Thameslink Programme?

I dunno if one would say it was closed as part of the Thameslink Programme -
the new station at St Pancras was built as part of the CTRL works (though
absurdly it wasn't fitted out at the time, with the fit-out occurring
later) - however said CTRL works at St Pancras included the bored and
cut-and-covered link tunnels from the Thameslink line to the Great Northern/
ECML which are part of the overall Thameslink Programme game plan. So, it's
all kinda intermeshed.

At one time the Kings Cross Thameslink, or Widened Lines, station had
Metropolitan Line platforms. That side was closed much earlier and
replaced with the 'tube' style station further to the west.
