Fair point. This brings to mind the two different ways of getting to
the Circle Line platforms from Kings Cross concourse - the
"official" route, and the one you take if you know what you're
doing, through the deep-level barriers and along the Khyber Pass.


Does that route still exist?


Yes. It's signposted as an interchange route between the tube and
Circle. The official route from the Circle to King's Cross is to head
west to the middle of the platforms and the western ticket hall
(outside St Pancras), then back east through the tube ticket hall. Not
a route anyone would choose to do.


The official route is the easiest route to take if (a) you alight from the
western end of the Circle/H&C/Met train that you arrive on, or (b) you want
to minimise or eliminate steps (there are lifts from platform to barrier and
from barrier to street at the Western Ticket Hall).
