, at 08:25:34 on Wed, 26 Dec 2012, e27002 remarked: I do not have an answer to your question. However, this is a good opportunity to jump in and say how well the new arrangements at Kings Cross Network Rail station work. Passing thru the station, on the way to Leeds, in early December, I was impressed with the improvement in passenger flow. I ate on the upper level. When my platform was shown, it was a quick walk over the new footbridge, and down an escalator to reach my train. When I did that, the experience was marred by the displays at the escalators being out of action, so a memory-test about which platform to descend to. And, oh what joy to see the carbuncle in front of the station coming down. Although some have fond memories of it (seriously). OTOH The new TfL arrangement is less than impressive. The route from the Victoria line to the new ticket hall/exit is very long with no travelators, or warning. Someone with limited mobility could easily find himself in discomfort, or worse, difficulty. I agree, the new route especially to the Victoria Line was "advertised" as being better than before, but is far worse than the old (although existing if unsigned) route. Having walked from Platform 1 to the Victoria Line (which is almost directly below) via that enormously circuitous route, they have definitely missed a trick in not having a short-cut from the end of Platform 0/1/2 to the Victoria (and Picc) lines. -- Roland Perry |
