Paul Maynard has now replaced Andrew Jones but presumably areas of responsibility could be shuffled https://www.gov.uk/government/ministers/parliamentary-under-secretary-of-state-for-the-department-for-transport
The GTR press release says: “An enhanced “rainbow” queuing system will channel passengers leaving the city into the appropriate queue for their train before they get to the station.”...
Believe they are still working towards consulted timetable ultimately - but last May, delayed rollout of 717s and the engineering programmes impacting Kings Cross and Moorgate over the next couple of years are combining to push back full implementation.
Don’t think we’ll see much, if any change...
I think the discussions are happening and we’ll see a range of provisions put in place, but there simply isn’t enough rail / bus capacity available to cater for everyone who would normally travel - hence the early warning. It seems to be being handled similarly to the Brighton mainline closures...
The southern part should be back open on Mon 26. Believe NR and TOCs are still working on detailed plans and more info for this closure and other work along the line will be added to the dedicated website, once available https://eastcoastupgrade.co.uk
SDO is certainly in operation at Drayton Park northbound - but only really noticeable if you are in the back carriage, as the info only displays there and the audio is also different there.
The Kings Cross Cambridge stoppers will thankfully go back to being 2 per hour from the May timetable change - all the revised services are in showing planners from Sunday 19/5.
For 2G40 RTT is currently showing: "This service was cancelled throughout due to an issue with the train crew (TG)."
