Anyone know please just what's involved in changing from tube to NR at

Finsbiury Park during the works there?



TfL site has "the ONLY way to interchange between National Rail and Tube

platforms will be to exit via Station Place and re-enter the station."

An able-bodied but somewhat unfit friend is travelling to tomorrow and

asked me if this involves *lots* of steps or just a tedious plod. She

reply to address is (meant to be) valid

As I know to my cost, the interchange at FPK cannot be done without stairs. At the moment, there are two flights from the tube platforms to the passageway leading to the Station Place booking hall, a bit of a plod, then a further flight from that level to a linking passageway and further stairs to NR platform level which are particularly disability-unfriendly.

Would it be better for the OP's friend to change to Picc Line at FPK and travel to Southgate to be met there or take a W9 bus to Winchmore Hill Green near station. Alternatively, is there an easy way for OP's friend to reach KX to board NR train there?
