Answer 1

King's Cross station, also known as London King's Cross, is a central London railway terminus opened in 1852. The station is located on the edge of Central London, at the junction of the A501 Euston Road and York Way, in the Kings Cross district and within the London Borough of Camden on the border of the London Borough of Islington.

King's Cross forms the southern terminus of the East Coast Main Line, one of the UK's major railway backbones. Immediately to the west is St Pancras station, the terminus for international Eurostar trains, and the two stations share King's Cross St. Pancras tube station on the London Underground network.

Location and surroundings

West of King's Cross are, in succession, St Pancras station, the British Library and Euston station, all within a few minutes' walk.

The reconstructed and restored St Pancras is the new London terminus of High Speed 1[4] which replaced Waterloo International on 14 November 2007. Eurostar trains serve Lille Europe, Paris Gare du Nord and Brussels Midi-Zuid, and since December 2009 domestic Southeastern highspeed services serve Kent over the High Speed 1 route.

Considerable regeneration effort has gone into the area in recent years, with the opening of new hotels and office space under construction.

The Network Rail owned Power Signal Box (PSB) for the southern end of the East Coast Mainline is located at the country end of the station. The box controls trains as far Biggleswade & Royston, and also controls the Northern City Line. Peterborough signal box takes over after Biggleswade and Cambridge after Royston. First Capital Connect also control all their GN route trains from their control aka 'Service Delivery Centre' at King's Cross PSB.
