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.


You will always be able to get there from St Pancras without even seeing
the main building of Kings Cross. If you use the northern most
escalators by the Kent Lines escalators, then it "feels" very much like
an underground ticket office *for* St Pancras.

Which reminds me, do the Kent platforms have Oyster (for trips to/from
Stratford perhaps).
