[1] Although one day I must try them all at a GTR ticket machine and

their website claims such machines are only located *outside* the

Cross (apparently).


It seems GTR has no ticketing presence at King's Cross. I was directed to
the SPILL Thameslink ticket office.


But that's still within the Travelcard area.


But not at King's Cross, as was my point.

Pre-refurb there was a WAGN/FCC ticket office roughly where the
"Platform 9 and 3/4" tourist trap is.


That was then. Now is now.
