My link to a schematic map of the layout underground seems to have
gone AWOL and searches aren't coming up with anything. Can anyone
point me to a working site please?

Thanks.

Thanks, that is of some help, but I am still not sure why, when I got off
the Vic line last time I ended up at the "wrong " end of St Pancras. I will
be trying again tomorrow!

You will have followed the signage to the eastern end of the Victoria
line platforms, then walked the entire length of the 45-degree passage,
up the escalators, through the northern ticket hall, and along a passage
to St Pancras north end. My map doesn't have very much of that final
passage, but it's an extension of the yellow rectangle at the top of the
plan.

A classic case of attempting to distribute the huge crowds that use
the station across the whole station complex and trying to prevent
pinch points from becoming unmanageably overcrowded - reprehensible I
agree...

Actually, it is reprehensible. It makes people with walking difficulties
take unnecessarily (or even impossibly) long walks instead of being able
to take the shortest route.

I don't quite follow that. Surely allowing people to exit at
Pentonville Road, if they want to go that way, takes them away from
the pinch points?

As I recall, from the Western End of the Victoria Line, there are
signs on the wall pointing east saying Pentonville Road, but the only
signposted way out you then come to just takes you west again, having
gone east for no reason.

You have to determinedly go further east and take an unmarked
staircase in order to reach Pentonville Road. This ain't clever.

I don't think we are disagreeing...

I don't follow that explanation. There are signs on the platform
directing people east for "Kings Cross", and very possibly Pentonville
Rd as well.

Having got to the exit point form the platforms there's one set of
stairs (and a small lift) up to the cross-passage, where it's west to
the National Rail stations and east to Pentonville Rd. But there aren't
any additional stairs to Pentonville Rd at that point.
