Please avoid using Kings Cross underground station, if possible

Most people who can avoid using it, already do avoid using it...

(And unfortunately for such an important transport destination, the next
nearest stations are quite a long way away.)

Euston, Euston Square and Russell Square arn't that far away by foot!

Yes they are, especially as you have to negotiate the works outside St
Pancras. I've done it a few times when KX has been closed for security
reasons.

Kentish Town or West Hampstead provide useful interchanges onto LUL,
but some clever person has decided Thameslink services will not call
at these stations between 07.30 and 09.30 to prevent overcrowding.
Doesn't make much sense to me as this means all passengers will be
forced into the Kings Cross/St Pancras area making the overcrowding
there 3 times worse.
