No, the new "Western" ticket hall, referred to by Peter Tollington,
the line manager for the Circle line, will replace the existing
access.


So interchange from deep tube to sub-surface will mean a longer walk
than the original (pre-redevelopment) route?

Eventually there will be an interchange passage between the
"tube" and "subsurface" platforms without the need to pass through
the ticket gates, one of the last, achievable, recommendations of
the Cullen report following the Kings Cross fire.


Do you have a date for this "eventual" change? Is it part of the
current project or a "nice-to-have" feature for the indefinite future?
