Well, at least we're now having it in one titled, er, no hang on a minute ...

It's all subterfuge to misdirect the urb-exers from finding clues to the
portal giving access to the magic kingdom (aka the manhole to the Fleet
sewer) underneath the Yo-Sushi pot washing sink at the back of St P...

I'm pretty sure Clive's got all the magic portals listed on his site,
hasn't he? He's missing opening dates for a few, admittedly.

The only hassle is crossing the road junction at the north end of
Blackfriars Bridge. I recommend walking from St Pauls, stopping for a
pint in the Cockpit on the way.

Re the interchange at Kings Cross St Pancras - does partly depend
which way your coming at it from, i.e. from the sub-surface lines
or
from the Piccadilly line. Whichever way you might do it, via KXSP,
Temple or Mansion House there'd still be a walk - possibly choose
which walk you prefer...

I think JP is unduly pessimistic in advising 13 minutes between KXX
Piccadilly and STP. I believe it nearer 5 - particularly if you
leave
from carriage 2, door 2 which is nearest the Northern Ticket Hall.

BTW. I recently saw a link on UTL to station details on
www.directenquiries.com. That site had stopped showing LU stations
when
TfL stopped paying it to do so. I don't have a route to
http://www.dire
ctenquiries.com/londonunderground.aspx?tab=Underground%20Stations& le

1 which is back in place.

I can't find interchanges within a station on Direct Enquiries any
more.

The route to the Northern Ticket Hall is shown at

Is this any better?:
http://ludemo.directenquiries.com/default.aspx?st=what

Luckily I had already bookmarked the page
To choose a station:
put Underground station in the "Find me a" box.
Leave the "or a Business Named" box empty
Put the area in the "In where" box
Click on "Go find"

You may be given a choice of stations, so selects the one you want. The
details of the platforms etc. are at the bottom of the page below the tube
map.


I don't know what the difference is between the two sites other than
www.directenquiries.com has ""copyright Direct Enquiries Limited 2002 -
2011"
whereas http://ludemo.directenquiries.com/
has "copyright Direct Enquiries Limited 2002 - 2008"
Perhaps the second one is an old site that they've left up and so might
not be up to date.

Ignore that
I've just seen that clicking on any of the links at the bottom of the page
just takes you back to the home page. This must have been a recent change,
because I'm sure I could access the information from these links a few
weeks ago (or perhaps not!)
