There's a wide sub surface walkway to just in front of kings cross
station from the overbridge at the former station, and its currently
disused. I'm sure they could do something useful with that, even if
its just adding a glossy entrance to the lighthouse building so you
don't need to cross that road junction.

When was it last in use? I imagine that after the Met and Circle
lines moved to their new station there wouldn't have been all that
much interchange to/from Great Northern suburban and Midland trains
at Kings Cross Met (aka KX Thameslink), although some passengers
must have continued to change to the tube lines.

How much traffic was there at the Widened Lines platforms after 1941? I'd
never heard of this passageway before this thread.

But IIRC the
tunnel between KX Thameslink and the tube station didn't open until
the BedPan electrics started.

I thought it was only constructed then.
