It was in fact München Hbf I was thinking of in relation to SPI (as I
shall now call St Pancras International) as the overall footprint is
similar - a deeper train shed in the centre with two wings one on each
side.
In fact there are more parallels as one could consider the S-bahn tief
Bf platforms as equivalent to the Thameslink route, and the U-bahn as
equivalent to LU lines - and both U-bahn and LU have diverse entrances
and underground passages.
München Hbf is a location I know well having had several weeks in each
year in late 80s / early 90s commuting through the place in several
different permutations depending on which hotel was based at. I would
estimate some of the inter-line walks are further than those that will
exist at SPI when it is complete.
Mind you, I suspect München Hbf will always be better signed.
