I've got a mystery £6 "operational issue" credit, and a £5 top-up (so
that it activates online journey history) to pick up tomorrow. Will they
both leap aboard in one swipe?


No idea but I suspect it rather depends if they are both programmed for
the same gateline.


I did ask for the same gateline for both.

And where is St Pancras (National Rail) - is that any of the KX/StP tube
barriers, or only the ones at the western ticket hall?


I would imagine that it is actually the Thameslink gateline in St
Pancras itself.

The LU Kings Cross ticket halls are (or were) Tube (the old one we all
know and love), Western (over the Met / Circle lines)


which is in St Pancras

and Northern (the new one linked to St Pancras Int).


which as you say feels a bit like it's in St Pancras, even if it's
actually the KX side of the road.


That's not what he said; he just said it was *linked* to SPI, which I
took to mean that it was in KX but linked to SPI. Since it's going to be
directly under the new main entrance to King's Cross, I think your
feeling will be short-lived.
