I think JP is unduly pessimistic in advising 13 minutes between KXX
Piccadilly and STP. I believe it nearer 5 - particularly if you leave
from carriage 2, door 2 which is nearest the Northern Ticket Hall.

They have to take account of people with luggage, and who walk slowly
(I'm not sure if they also take into account using all the lifts on the
way).

You have to go up a flight of stairs, along quite a long corridor, up
some escalators, through the Northern Ticket Hall, then up an escalator
to the St Pancras Concourse. Along past the "Farmers market" and ticket
offices, through the FCC barriers, then down two sets of escalators. The
good news is, all the lifts you might need are right next door to the
stairs/escalators, which isn't always the case.
