I've not had cause to try it. I noticed one report claiming cross-platform
interchange for "round the corner" passengers. That must be a lie of
course.

I just knew you would be first 'anti' to speak up. Give it a rest FFS...

Why? I and anyone making a similar journey have lost any assurance of a
step-free route between King's Cross and Earl's Court with the added
nightmare of the dire departures indicators at Edgware Road.

You've obviously missed the Standard reports of it being even less
reliable than before, as well as less frequent.

However, you have now gained the possibility of doing the same
journey, step-free, using the Piccadilly Line.

Not if the reason for wanting it step free is because I have my bicycle
with me!

So you keep saying, and it 's getting tedious in the extreme. As Paul C
suggests, once a long period of statistics is available, no doubt they'll be
able to prove whether platform allocation at Edgware Rd is reliably
happening as shown on the signs. In which case your assurance of a step free
route will be there if you get a Circle train. If that means you have to
change twice on a journey between Putney and Kings Cross, we know that.
We've been hearing about it for about two years now...

We all know it is less frequent, and we know the reasons.

I only read they were promising step free on the Outer Rail, from Earls
Court to King's Cross. I read the other direction as no promises at all.
An have you ever tried to work out which the next train to High St is
going from at Edgware Road? I even got off a train I should have stayed on
because I believed a "Next Train to High St" sign on that bloody station!

I don't know if you've seen the reports in the Standard but what I saw led
on reliability falling.

Apart from the Piccadilly line, of course.

I must get someone to show me this supposed step-free route to the
Piccadilly Line at King's Cross. The current access to the Northern ticket
hall from King's Cross main line is not step-free. The only lift from
ground level only goes relevantly to the old tube concourse which does not
have step-free access to the Piccadilly Line. Anyway, that line is no use
with a bike and the accesses involve some lengthy detours, especially at
Earl's Court.
