The Ticket Collector

Good bye Kings Cross Thameslink, Hello St Pancras International.

The new St Pancras station quietly opened on Sunday 9th December 2007. The main opening was on Monday 10th Decemeber 2007 when the official brown noseing session with Ruth Kelly and many FCC directors took place.

At Farringdon it seems that drivers still need reminding that Kings Kross Thameslink is closed.

As you travel through Kings Cross Thameslink the station has been transformed into a series of “Do not Alight here” signs. This could be hard as the trains tend not to stop here anymore.

Commuters on Monday morning at St Pancras received an envelope which had a card and a chocolate inside it.

Staff have received the same envelope and have also been given a nice metal keyring with the FCC “Love St Pancras” logo on it. Im sure a few of these will pop up on eBay very soon.

Bodies found on the Fen Line

The line between Kings Lynn and Downham market was closed today due to 2 bodies having been found on the tracks. It was originally reported by the driver at around 08:00 as the train hitting a deer.

After an investigation by railway officials and British Transport Police the scene was declared a crime scene. Buses were ordered and replaced trains between Downham Market and Kings Lynn.

There is no further information from BTP or FCC at this present time on possible causes.

The line was re-opened at around 15:00 today.
