Having walked from Platform 1 to the Victoria Line (which is almost

You keep missing the point. The design of the KX-St.Pancras complex
isn't anything to do with the railway stations, it's a shopping centre
which just happens to have a few railway stations scattered about the
periphery :-). If they put in all the obvious short-cuts (I'd really
like one connecting St.Pancras low-level to the tube system without
going up two floors then all the way down again) we wouldn't have the
lure of all those retail outlets presented to us, and then we might not
spend so much on their fast food and tat.
