don't think she will be up to the subterranean route march that seems the
recommended signed route from the main line station's forecourt to the
southbound Victoria Line.


Is there a short cut that equates to "arrive by Victoria Line train and
follow signs to Way Out" in the other direction?


When you arrive at Kings Cross, you can take the official entrance to
the tube inside the station, but instead of turning right at the
bottom of the stairs and following the official route to the Victoria
line, turn LEFT. This will bring you to the old tube ticket hall where
you can go through the barriers and down the escalators to the
Victoria line. This is MUCH quicker than the official route. Why LUL
route passengers the long way round I don't know, but since when did
it matter to them


Thanks VERY much, Paul.
