Stations like Kings Cross St Pancras can get very overcrowded at peak times
(even more so in Nov when Eurostar at FCC move stations), but is the entire
closure of the station a routine occurrence?


You have to remember that the london underground is a **** poor
overpriced service


****-poor is questionable; overpriced is demonstrably nonsense (given
that farebox income doesn't even cover operational costs, never mind
investment or any kind of profit-making).


Its the most expensive metro in the world. If that doesn't count as
overpriced I'm not sure what does. And its also got the worst service
of any I've had the misfortune of using and that includes ones in
supposedly poverty striken eastern europe.
