"Queen to open St Pancras station" today

I did have a chuckle at one piece of propaganda that said there have been 16 sets of points upgraded between Kentish Town and Kings Cross. Could anyone name them all? AFAIAA there will be no turnback facilities at St P. International LL (no signals and no pointwork). Given that any future work or blocks will be south of Kings Cross Thameslink station, I can only imagine that all turnback trains will just travel empty to KX and then use the pointwork that was originally used for trains terminating there from the south during the original blockade of Kings Cross. I can see a split service of trains terminating at Kentish Town and some terminating at St. Pancras I saw a FCC engineering works poster at Luton, and it explicitly stated the use of platforms 1-4 at St Pancras (i.e. the high-level platforms) by FCC services during the closures. Whether or not they eventually choose to use their own platforms during the closures instead remains to be seen. |
