The other weekend I was up at KX and was suprised too see the new steps

They look completely finished behind the hoarding so is the idea to
open everything in a big bang rather than incrementally?

I'm surprised there has been no comment on this post so far. I would
like to think that all sorts of frenzied activity is going on behind
the scenes at KX but to us, the public, the works seem to be
progressing at a snail's pace. The new stairs seem to have been on the
point of opening for months but presumably cannot do so until the
temporary ticket offices in front of them are decommissioned and
removed, and presumably that can't happen until the new ticket offices
down in the tube hall are ready. The only signs of recent progress here
are that the wraps have come off the counters and the chip 'n pin
machines within the last week.

Does anybody have any ideas regarding tentative opening dates of the
stairs and the western ticket hall?

The Western Ticket Hall looks finished - you can see it, apparently
fully fitted out, through the hoardings at the front of St Pancras.
However, LUL seem to have stopped mentioning an April date for WTH
opening, which suggests it's slipped for Mysterious And Bizarre
Reasons.

If anyone does have a date, it'd be nice to hear it...!
