King's Cross remodelling - The East Coast upgrade
The East Coast Upgrade overview
The multi-million pound investment is set to provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the infrastructure at King’s Cross station, which will see a-mile-and-a-half of track, signalling and overhead line equipment re-thought, re-planned and re-laid.
At the same time, the project will create two new lines by re-opening a disused tunnel on the approach to King’s Cross; increasing the approach from four tracks to six.

Disruption in January and February 2020
Work is also taking place over most weekends in January and February, which will mean there is a reduced service.
There will be no trains in and out of King’s Cross over the two weekends below:
- Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 January
- Saturday 29 February and Sunday 1 March.
There will also be five weekends of a reduced service on the East Coast Main Line when passengers along the route are urged to check before travelling and to allow additional time for their journey as these services will be busy and are likely to take longer than usual. These dates are:
- Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 January
- Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 January
- Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 January
- Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 February
