Access to the Met/Circle/H+C is now via the Western Ticket Hall only.

I'll be using this every working day. But here are a few initial
observations:

I was disappointed to see that there are no escalators down into the
new ticket hall, nor are there any down to the Met line platforms.
Although there appear to be lifts I expect lots of people will continue
to struggle up and down the steps with their luggage.

There is some misleading signposting in the Western ticket hall, with
some signs for "St Pancras" pointing west rather than east. Presumably
the signposting refers to the

Don't these signs currently direct people via a ramp to street level?

I didn't spot a ramp - where is that?

The signs I am referring to are near the ticket windows and point
people to the steps (and lift) at the western end of the new ticket
hall. Presumably these steps will one day provide access to the "new"
St Pancras station. However at the moment people who ascend these steps
wanting to catch MML trains have to walk back along an upper-level
walkway to the eastern end and out into St Pancras Road.

I daresay this will be fixed in due course.

I thought it was a ramp once you got up those stairs, but it was a while ago
since I was last there whilst it was still being fitted out.
