From the BBC News website

Network Rail's managing director Robin Gisby acknowledged a lot of passengers had been let down.

He told the BBC that the delay to work at Kings Cross was caused by the failure of heavy lifting equipment on Christmas Day. A decision was taken on the afternoon of 26 December to put alternative arrangements in place and make an announcement to passengers

Seems to be a case of bad luck - not really practicable just to have a spare lying around "just in case" that said I would have thought that someone would have realised that the original finish time was a dead duck and issuing an immediate press release may be a good idea.

Methinks whoever is responsible for this work will be trying very hard to come up with a reason for keeping their job tomorrow at the moment.
