St Pancras Low Level

Sorry, not really. I think they're cut and cover at the northern end though - see this bird's eye view: http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?cp...&style=b&lvl=1 The SPILL box itself was built as cut and cover, but that view above clearly shows why you couldn't realistically cut and cover all the way to the ECML. This picture might also be helpful, as it shows where SPILL is positioned, and hints at the length of tunnel required to meet up with the ECML (aligned left to right at the very bottom of the map). http://www.arup.com/_assets/_download/download268.pdf Interesting. The positioning is pretty tight - avoiding the original bits of St Pancras station, the British Library and the housing to the west of Midland Road. I'd be interested to know how far if at all this alignment deviates from what was there beforehand, i.e. the subterranean course of the Thameslink line before SPILL was constructed. |
