Can you? I can't even find them or any signs pointing to them, never

Ah yes, those are, unfortunately. What I meant by "original" was the
routes that you could use say 5 years ago, via the Western Ticket Hall
before the recent upgrades (or downgrades) to the KX-St.Pancras complex.


Is the Western Ticket Hall the one near the SSL platforms? If so, I
prefer to avoid that whenever possible. The long walk is preferable
than trying to fight my way with a bulky suitcase through confused
French crowds fresh off the Eurostar, who all seem to end up there
looking lost and/or forming long queues right across the hall to buy
single cash fares at the ticket office.
