I've been refused exit at Goodge Street in the past (over 10 years ago)
to
break a tube journey back to King's Cross and had to re-enter the tube
and
exit at Euston instead. Is this a relatively recent change?


No, the rule is not recent.

However the last time I looked they had removed it, so I'm surprised to
see it back again.

Having said that, I'm equally surprised that they wouldn't let you out at
GS for Euston (they don't have to know that you want KX). I had no
problem last time I did it.


Of course the barriers at GS wouldn't let you out - so that immediately puts
the member of staff into 'highly suspicious' mode. Add to that a typical
lack of knowledge, and you get to Colin's reported 'exit refusal'.
