I've done a composite, as best I can quickly, which shows it's not

Wouldn't it have been better to just re-use the original northern line
lifts, which come out right next to the current ticket hall?


Maybe that's what they are doing[1], and need to close the passageway
towards KX Concourse for the duration. (The part of the passageway near
the ticket office will re-open later as it's part of the eventual route
to the Northern ticket hall, and the new KX-plaza entrance.)

[1] Albeit the entrance to the new lift is presumably going to be
"airside", which may not be the case for this old lift you talk about.
