That's a good suggestion - some journey planners allow an excessive time
to walk from King's Cross to St.Pancras or even one bit of St.Pancras to
another. When the station is crowded you might need nearly 10 mins to
reach the deep tube lines from one of the NR stations, but the change
from EMT to FCC is easy, a mere two ticket barriers and three escalators
down. FCC trains are scheduled to run through London until about 10 pm
each evening.

Once or twice I have alighted from an EMT train due in at xx:29 and
managed to catch a southbound FCC train 3 floors below departing at
xx:28, which is something that no journey planner would lead you to
attempt. But that depends on the EMT arrival time padding, of course,
and no idiot holding you up at either ticket barrier.
