"Queen to open St Pancras station" today
"Nathan" wrote in message om... Yes, FCC (as it is now) has access rights to St Pancras station, normally only used when the tunnels are shut. FCC may have station rights but, i'm told, FCC drivers will not be maintaining route knowledge into St.P so in a very short time all FCC drivers will not be able to go in there. You do have to wonder where all the trains will go when Moorgate is closed in 2008... There are very regular closures of the Thameslink route from the new year onwards, IIRC from FCC publicity, some trains will be reversing at St Pancras International (formerly Midland Rd). The plan is that by the time Moorgate closes, there will be capacity available for trains to run through to destinations in the Southeastern area, with their trains running through to at least Kentish Town in return, as the bay platforms at Blackfriars close at the same time. Of course capacity is not the same as frequency, and could be achieved with fewer longer trains, using the units no longer going to Moorgate. Paul |
