There seems to be some dispute over whether passenger will be able to
exit the mainline platforms over the footbridge into the western
ticket hall or not.

They'll have a single down-only escalator and a lift to each platform.

The other possibility is that there will be a way to walk around the
southern (buffer-end) exits from platforms 1-8 within the station
(i.e. under cover) to get round to the western concourse and hence the
entrance to the Tube station.

There'll be a bi-directional gateline roughly where M&S currently is
giving you access to the concourse. A little further south (just
outside the building but under the canopy) there'll be a new set of
stairs down to the tube station. This is probably the same set Roland
mentioned earlier.


I've just been having a quick dig around the LB Camden online planning
portal. The main planning application number for these works seems to
be 2006/3387/P - the summary page can be seen he

The supporting documents page holds a number of drawings:

Within the "Amended drawings" document, on page 1 is a drawing that
shows two gatelines leading from the main trainshed - one leads into
the western concourse, the other leads south out onto the street - the
stairs down into the main (circular) Tube ticket hall that I think are
the ones we're all speaking about are also shown underneath an
external canopy (or at least I think that's what the drawing shows).
Page 6 also shows this in more detail.

I haven't entirely figured it out yet, like what route will passengers
exiting the Tube take into the Western concourse... ok, so now I'm
looking at page 4 of the "Proposed 3" drawings which appears to show a
direct exit from the Tube station into the western concourse, right on
the westernmost side. And this appears again on pages 8 and 10 - but
it looks solely like a link to the deep-level tubes, so I think this
is in fact the new northern Tube ticket hall. I'd need to spend a bit
of time with these drawings to properly figure it all out.

Page 1 of the "Proposed 2 - Part 2" drawings shows the 'green oval' in
the Southern Square that Mr Perry speaks of elsewhere is in fact an
"LUL vent". And in one of the drawings I noticed that the location of
the disused Hotel Curve was marked, but I can't find which one it is
now.

Anyway should anyone want to look in depth at the plans there's plenty
to go from there. As I said, I've only taken a cursory look at them -
the whole project is not one that I've looked at in any real detail
beforehand.
