The Travel Centre/Office is at the far west of the building, at approx
ground level up a flight of stairs from the booking hall. It's mainly
for selling guided tours and such like to tourists, it's not really
about the tube.


Says who? (Apart from you.)

The prominence of the "Attractions and Tours" on that web page, plus
seeing it when it's open and the looking at the range of information
on display and the fact it had a huge and very slowly moving queue.
Quite unsuitable for asking for advice about which tube train to
catch. It's all about getting the commission on the Tussauds tickets.


Well, I followed the signs but they must have run out. I saw something
opposite the barriers with racks and assumed it must have closed.

Anyway, going up another set of stairs would have been something of a pain.
The new square in front of King's Cross may be larger than Leicester Square
but it doesn't have any cycle parking so I was having to carry my bike down
and up stairs. The staff member didn't point me to it either.
