Yebbut the entrance to the Underground closest to the rail station is
now for ticket holders only, isn't it? If Tim's come from Yorkshire, he
might not want a long detour to a big queue.


but it doesn't matter - there is a GNER ticket office, there was
certainly a Great Northern window to one side in the old days but it may
now be by platforms 9-11. There are also passenger operated machines. If
the LU windows were really bad there are machines and a ticket office at
Kings Cross Thameslink which has direct links to the Vic, Picc and
Northern Lines.


Umm... have you walked round Kings Cross stat^^^building site recently?


Not all of it no. I'm not aware that the inside of the main line station
is being torn to pieces at present and that is really what I am talking
about. I know the tube station and subways are subject to lots of
alterations.
