Default St P.I..L.L Impressions (Thameslink southern exits)

But that's where it's going. Have a look at the safeguarding map:

http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/...pdfsheets10b19

It appears to be south of Euston Road. The original safeguarding is a
long way south, the new proposed (accepted?) new boundary covers an
area up to the north side of the existing tube ticket hall, but
nothing further north.

and the ones that have already
happened at Angel (that's presumably why the cross passages there are
so wide and have very wide fire exit doors in the middle of them).


I presume they go to the lifts and the old building somehow.

The safeguarded route appears to run northwest of the current station
entrance, but the Northern platforms are southeast of it. The "surface
interest" area (ie station buildings etc) is on the west side of
Islington High St, and the only place I can imagine an interchange
passage coming from that way connecting is the landing between the two
sets of escalators.
