About the Kings Cross remodelling project

The project includes a new track layout, modified platforms, and new overhead line electrification, as well as a new signalling system based at the York regional operating centre. Teams replaced the track, signalling and OLE on the station approach. They also reopened a closed tunnel to provide two additional tracks, and rebuilt the Camden sewer, which now allows trains to travel over it at a higher speed.
