Re the interchange at Kings Cross St Pancras - does partly depend
which way your coming at it from, i.e. from the sub-surface
lines or
from the Piccadilly line. Whichever way you might do it, via
KXSP,
Temple or Mansion House there'd still be a walk - possibly choose
which walk you prefer...

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.

BTW. I recently saw a link on UTL to station details on
www.directenquiries.com. That site had stopped showing LU
stations when
TfL stopped paying it to do so. I don't have a route to
http://www.dire


ctenquiries.com/londonunderground.aspx?tab=Underground%20Stations& le

1 which is back in place.

I can't find interchanges within a station on Direct Enquiries
any more.

The route to the Northern Ticket Hall is shown at

Is this any better?:

Luckily I had already bookmarked the page
To choose a station:
put Underground station in the "Find me a" box.
Leave the "or a Business Named" box empty
Put the area in the "In where" box
Click on "Go find"

You may be given a choice of stations, so selects the one you want.
The details of the platforms etc. are at the bottom of the page
below the tube map.


I don't know what the difference is between the two sites other
than www.directenquiries.com has ""copyright Direct Enquiries
Limited 2002 - 2011"
whereas http://ludemo.directenquiries.com/
has "copyright Direct Enquiries Limited 2002 - 2008"
Perhaps the second one is an old site that they've left up and so
might not be up to date.

Ignore that
I've just seen that clicking on any of the links at the bottom of the page
just takes you back to the home page. This must have been a recent change,
because I'm sure I could access the information from these links a few
weeks ago (or perhaps not!)
