Central Government appear to be refusing to fund the fitting out of the 'Thameslink Box' to the west of St Pancras Station with station platforms so that Thameslink passengers can alight conveniently for onward transfer to King's Cross, Eurostar and the new domestic services on CTRL. What pressure can you bring to bear to persuade the Government that this is short-sighted and a false economy - inflicting a long walk on passengers (often with heavy luggage) across main roads to reach the old Thameslink station in Pentonville Road?
