Friday 15 May TV viewing BBC2 (9-10PM)
Chris F. of Albert Dock brought this to my attention and I thought it was worth passing on. The last episode in the the English Heritage programme on BBC2 this Friday night will be about the re-development of King's Cross Station.
According to the blurb on TV Guide online,
Full Steam Ahead Chronicling the battle of wills involved in the restoration of London's King's Cross station and adjacent goods yard – the biggest infrastructure project in Europe. English Heritage case officer Clare Brady takes on the architects, engineers and developers trying to modernise the Grade I listed building.

In the Sunday Times Culture section it also mentioned the programme under "Pick of the Day" and referred to the "passenger bridge," however I think this was referring to the bridge inside the building rather than the one that local residents are fighting for that would like the East side of the Station to the new entrance on the West side…but who knows, maybe the campaign got some unexpected publicity.
Thanks for flagging. It is genuinely well worth watching and provides an interesting insight into the whole of the area. I hope others enjoy it.
Re York Way improvements. Network Rail have promised improvements to York Way as part of the station redevelopment. Does anyone know when this is going to happen or who we can ask? Thank-you. Sean.
