I do think that Great Northern should start allowing the Class 379 Electrostars to enter service that would be used on London King’s Cross-Cambridge, Peterborough, King’s Lynn and Ely routes.
One uncommon thing for a London terminus station is that the platforms are numbered from right to left when looking from the concourse; and similarly the country end roads from F to A. Euston is the same, but most such stations go the other way, with platform 1 on the left. The current signalling at Kings Cross comes under YA, whatever that refers to, rather than (say) KX as I believe it was before.
@@BoogiesTrains ...but not YA as here. Yes, YK is York. I seem to have developed a fascination with signalling areas recently: I don't know why, but there it is (as Harry Worth once said.)
I'm guessing that, as the centralised signalling centres become bigger, different geographical areas are controlled from different rooms so different designations are required.
@@BoogiesTrains Yes, as for example Feltham area is now controlled from a panel/workstation at Basingstoke ROC, so the new signals around there are designated BEF (BasingstokE, Feltham panel.) YA still has me baffled, though...

Great video.

Great video Mr Boogie, nice to see it's still busy. Why did you have to sign in? Is this a new thing.? Well done 🤓
It felt like they were trying to enforce the Network Rail rules. Not sure how successful that will be at busy times.

Very interesting observation. Marylebone might be the same. I think YK is York.
And Fenchurch Street but you are right, most big terminus stations are numbered left to right.

why did they remove platform 10?
They needed to extend the suburban platforms and couldn't do it with three of them. The extension to eleven encroached on the track for ten.
