Another change which has been substantially elongated is Thameslink to
Victoria/Piccadilly at Kings Cross/St Pancras. Previously it was a much
shorter passage (still extant).

The much shorter connection was to the old King's Cross Thameslink. The
station is still there, just abandoned. I don't see why they couldn't
keep it open - it would I suppose take the average Thameslink train an
extra couple of minutes to get through the core if they had to make an
extra stop, but given the typical delays we experience, that is surely
lost in the noise.

The other really odd connections are at Green Park. Given that there are
three tube lines crossing at different levels, so there must be points
at which each line is just above each of the other two, it does seem
strange that one has to walk what seems like hundreds of metres to make
*any* connection there.
