These are the approaches to London St. Pancras as they were during Easter. As you can see there is a
bundle of overhead catenary (platforms 10 to 13 are electrified) put in place for the blockade which at the
time was operating. For the second time in a few years the line from London St. Pancras to Agar Grove
(around the North London Line bridge) will be dewired as electrification at the station is no longer
required until the station is substantially remodelled in time for the .25 mile long Eurostars.

Once finished, all 13 platforms will be fully electrified, allowing Thameslink to share eventual platforms
1 to 4 (the western platforms) with Midland Mainline when required.
