So, your bigotry somehow distorts spacetime and means that people
arriving at St.Pancras *don't* have to drag their suitcases 500
yards in the ****ing rain to wait outside Kings X until the Tube
has cleared sufficiently?


What happened to the ramp down from St.Pancras directly into the
Tube station?


If you mean the Tube exit from the new interim St Pancras, it's
escalators rather than a ramp, and it leads directly to a hole in the
ground that will become the Northern Ticket Hall. There's a report on
the BBC today* that says the government have approved the funding of
this, so it will eventually be provided. Actually the BBC report is a
right mess, failing to distinguish between the Northern Ticket Hall of
the Tube station and a new ticket hall for King's Cross mainline
station, which would enable the grotty single-storey buildings between
the train shed and Euston Road to be removed. Whether that is part of
the £400M plan is not clear.
