Has the new Kings Cross scissors been commissioned ok? From what I've heard it's all finished and done. Sorry if I've missed a thread but where's the new crossover? (Other than KX)  Edit: from the H&C and Met Twitter account: |

It's just outside the platforms on the west side.

Part way between King's Cross and Euston Square. Commissioned successfully although there's still a little more work to be done for the rear cab clear plunger installation, aiui. Certainly didn't give us any problems, although I was marooned on the far, North, side of the station all day.

From the TfL website at 20:40 on Friday 1st January:
That wouldn't have anything to do with the new crossover and associated signalling, would it?

A few extras/mods needed; the RCC signs/plungers, a platform repeater for OJ19, and a mod to the feeds into the site computer. Other than that it wasn't too bad.

Looking at the upcoming engineering work this new crossing is going to get quite a bashing over the next 6 months.

Is the crossing at the east end of the station remaining? Yes, it was plain lined at the same time. First intensive use will be weekend 13/14tb Feb with a shutdown to Aldgate for work there, although there are two booked east-west moves each night, one off platform 2 (OOS) and another into platform 1. |
