I have to take my 85 year-old mother through Kings Cross next
Monday and 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.

That one suggests going down the steps to the right of the exit
from the concourse of the mainline station and following a
succession of very long tunnels.

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


I would go down the steps by the side of the concourse at the end of
platform 8. Then turn left (and not right as signed) and follow the old
route via the original Victoria Line escalators. There is a lift by the
steps.


Thanks Colin.
