Farringdon Open March 15th?

Having had no response to this question in the Strike Thread in the London Underground Sub Forum, I thought I'd try here.

How likely is it that Interchange between Elizabeth Line and Thameslink will be possible on March 15th? Will Farringdon be open or closed?

(I'm hoping to get from Paddington to St Pancras via Elizabeth Line & Thameslink)

Anecdotally, on RMT strike days, if GTR services are running, the Thameslink core will be shut and services will only go southbound from London Bridge and northbound from St Pancras, so I don't think you'll be able to change onto TL at Farringdon.

Check out the Industrial Action page and expand the options for "Southern and Thameslink" and "Thameslink and Great Northern" and you'll see there are no services operating between London Bridge and St Pancras: https://www.thameslinkrailway.com/travel-information/plan-your-journey/industrial-action

Edit: My pea brain didn't realise 15th is a day before the strike day of the 16th, in which case services will run as normal, just (potentially) ending earlier in the evening. You should be fine.

Judging from previous LU strike days, Farringdon may be open with reduced hours (0600-2230) or something of the sort.

If you're travelling in the day, you're likely to be fine. Check with Thameslink and TfL closer to travel.
