Default Kings Cross Main line to Victoria Line?

I would normally be wanting to take the City branch southbound, so
going via Euston is a long diversion.. and IIRC is a very long walk
inside the Euston passageways.


Actually it is cross platform interchange in that direction (SB Victoria
to SB Bank branch)


Indeed, because one starts southbound on the Victoria and cross-
platforms to southbound on the Northern in the opposite direction.
Probably quicker and certainly less tiring than the walk that one is
directed to take at Kings Cross.

But even if one was going the other way on the Northern, it's a fairly
short walk over a bridge at the western end of the Victoria/Northern
platforms at Euston; no need to go up the escalators and back.


Thanks both. I wonder what the long walk I'm remembering is - perhaps
Charing Cross Branch northbound to Victoria Line northbound.
