Farringdon being two stops away will be a big win. Blackfriars for the South Bank. Rapid transit back from London Bridge. City Thameslink for Holborn. and the City. Ace, ace, ace.
My only regret is that I'll end up travelling into KX less - I enjoy doing that journey at the weekend and prefer it to St Pancras, but far fewer trains will go that way.
My only worry is that changing at Finsbury Park won't be fun for those of us who use Harringay.
Amazing! the travelling time from Finsbury Park to Gatwick is more or less the same by Victoria + Gatwick express, but it will mean avoiding the tube and a change, and moreover it will be hopefully cheaper than the Gatwick express.
Will we be able to reach Luton directly too? It will really become an amazing location with 3 airports with direct connection and Stanstead direct from Tottenham Hale.
And the cross rail interchange will add to the Moorgate (/Liverpool Street) change we were supposed to have if everything remained the same! Boom!
I can't seem to find the exact start date. I will start working in London Bridge next year, so it will be a very welcome addition to the already super well connected station!

I saw a Class 700 at Finsbury Park last night. They really are lovely shiny beasts. Can't wait for them to be introduced on the Moorgate route.

London Bridge is currently painful via the Northern Line to the point i avoid it.
I wonder what type of benefit this new connection will bring.
Maybe more marketing material for the City North.
