That's presumably why the modern lift in the old lift shaft is on the
far right hand (ie. eastern) side, ie. adjacent to, but missing, the
junction - so that it can have an intermediate landing, perhaps for
providing some access to the picadilly line via that route.
That depends a bit on whether the passage from there to the Piccadilly
area is a level (and rather long dog-leg) passage. Or does it have an
escalator upwards a northwards as one diagram I have shows.
It could have an escalator, and a lift - there's nothing stopping one
side extending next to the escalator to reach a lift shaft (or vice-
versa at the top side of the escalator).

Only that fact that none of the various plans show such a thing.

The top end of this lift isn't accessible to the public
At the moment... Hence why it would be a good idea for them to close
the passage from ticket hall to GNER and turn it into a slope down,
going from airside ticket hall, to one floor below the ticket hall
level at the top end of this lift.

I'm not that sure they are trying to alter the layout, at this stage.

No lifts to the Victoria Line as far as I can tell.
Apart from the ones they are putting in on the other side of the
stairs from the former thameslink passage?
That would be a logical place, but my "map of all the lifts" doesn't
show it.
Then maybe you might like to adjust the map to account for the facts
underground?

The "map of all the lifts" that I have been looking at doesn't go that
far east, so would require quite a big modification.

I'll add the lifts to the passage-way plan I've been using in my
composite pictures, and post it later today. I'll have to guess where
the Victoria Line lift goes, is it directly ahead as you arrive from the
Piccadilly, or when you arrive from the old KX Thameslink stations, or
in between; and north or south of the passage parallel to the platforms?
