So, don't take the long walk at the Cross! Turn left at the bottom of
the stairs past the end of platform 8 and you get into the old ticket
hall and the top of the Victoria Line escalators. Simple.

I think you have missed the point - we are trying to get to the
Northern Line, not the Victoria! And starting from the Circle Line
platforms, allegedly possible without going through a barrier. The
Khyber pass gets you to the top of the old Victoria Line escalators
(inside the barriers) but from there the Northern is somewhat
inaccessible.

Directions signs are to confuse the confusible.

I wonder what the signs say as you emerge from the Khyber pass,
about getting to the Northern?

I thought the current route was via the Piccadilly escalator. Is the
access from the bottom to the Northern actually blocked off?
