Thanks for reminding me why I really, really should not bother
with attempting to be remotely helpful to people on this group.

On the contrary, Paul, please continue to do so and don't allow
the occasional negative comment from someone who knows about 10%
of what you're on about discourage you.

You're generous, Ian - I would have said they knew about 1%!

I sure as **** know how far it is from St.Pancras to Kings X.

No, you don't. The walk in the open down Pancras Road is actually
300 yards, not 500.

Typical transport weenie; much rather split hairs than address
actual issues.

You were the one who boasted that you "sure as ****" knew the distance.
If you think an overestimate of 67% is splitting hairs, your judgement
is not to be trusted.

To the OP: Pay no attention to what the transport weenies tell you.
They live in some bizarre world where a delay is an opportunity to
be ecstatic about being on a train, a long and inconvenient walk an
opportunity to admire the architecture of St. Pancras and they'd
*much* rather attack me than bother about real issues; it's so much
easier.

You've conveniently forgotten that Paul Corfield actually said "there
are significant construction works at Kings Cross so there may be some
more hassle opting for that route." Also that you suggested Gatwick to
a poster who said he'd got the option of Luton or Stansted.

By the way, you never told us what your job is. You're not ashamed of
it, are you?
