Sun, 7 Jul 2013, David Walters remarked: And that's after a neat trick from the Northern Line - all trains from Kings Cross were going to Hampstead, but I was going to Archway. I can't see a stepless way of doing the change (there's two flights of stairs at Camden Town) I thought the stairs were only between the southbound platforms with the northbound platforms both being on the same level as the bottom of the escalators (ignoring the passageways at the south of the platforms where the spiral stairs are)? I followed the platform signage (ever hopeful) and we were sent down one short flight, along a very short corridor, and up another short flight. So they were on the same level, but there wasn't a cross passage (there, anyway). It's possible there's a cross passage at the bottom of the spiral staircase (next to the "next train" signs), but maybe that's signed as "no exit" from the platforms. -- Roland Perry |

Then the signage failed us. Next time I'm there I'll do a more extensive survey (and hopefully not be hurrying to an appointment). -- Roland Perry |
