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'.

The staff member was pretty adamant that i could only exit at one of the
listed stations.
