Regarding the cost, I wonder if the property developers of the northern
Kings Cross area would be prepared to make a hefty contribution?


I don't. Getting developers to fund new platforms as a condition for
planning permission is hard enough, getting them to realign a railway as
an afterthought is not going to happen.

We're still waiting for the Central Line platforms at Park Royal!


True, but the office developments in that area have stalled. Two buildings
up, only one occupied (by Diageo itself). I thought the Central line
platforms weren't required until more buildings were completed?
