Default Thameslink

Curious; I had always remembered that you had to turn left (i.e. south)
from the northbound thameslink platform to get to the tunnel.


Down stairs, turn right, turn left into tunnel, tunnel verges right.

Result: you're heading north-northwest.

If the northern line runs under pentonville road, why/how do the
platforms have ex-lift shafts between them that you can see glimpses of
natural light, and air from? These can't surely be under the road -
there aren't any obvious large round holes in the road leading to the
platforms.


The *line* runs under Pentonville Road. The platforms are *west* of the
junction with York Road.

The five sets of platforms at KXSP/KXTL radiate out from a point:
Circle, Northern, Piccadilly, Victoria, Thameslink as you go clockwise.
