There are lifts from Thameslink (but rather a stupid design, you need

Because you can have a lift emerge on its own on the other side of the
road...

lifts to get to the Circle/Met/H&C lines don't you (one to the ticket
hall, one down from there)? * As well as the walk of 8-10 minutes, of

I can't see why they can't just have an escalator connection from the
south end of the Thameslink platforms to the northern line.

The route via Farringdon depends upon a flight of about 4 stone steps, and
I've never yet known them to suffer a mechanical fault. :-)
They are being rebuilt.

Eventually, I guess, there will be a lift to the Picc line platforms,
which will make it all a lot easier.
Until they built the Victoria line through them, in such a far-sighted
way, there were lifts to the piccadilly platforms.
