How much extra time will I have to add on to my journey
if I have to go to Victoria instead and take the tube?

You don't state exactly whence and whither you are travelling. It
might even work out quicker to go via Victoria.

Um, I did say I was going to Kings Cross on Friday.

"Whence" means "from which place". We can't advise on journey times
unless you tell us from where you are starting your journey.

I thought you'd realise from the south. Haywards Heath to be precise.
Then from Kings Cross to Newark. Usually I take the Thameslink as
it's more convenient, but I checked by ringing NRE who told me
engineering works 'till Monday morning.

According to the TfL Journey Planner, it's 47 minutes from Haywards Heath
to Victoria, then about 25 minutes by tube to Kings Cross including all
transfer and waiting times, assuming a brisk walking pace.

That's 72 minutes overall, compared with 68 minutes via Thameslink when
it's running.
