The other is that the surrounding roads are now open as of Saturday
3rd November (so the sign said). As far as I could see (but I may have
got it wrong) Pancras Road is fully open for two-way traffic all the
way from Euston Road up to the Goods Way / Camley Street junction, and
Midland Road is open for one-way southbound traffic into Euston Road.
The taxi rank is now on Midland Road, and that's now the taxi drop-off
point as well (as opposed to the old location on Pancras Road).


The southbound route from Goods Way is a taxi (and goods vehicle) only route
for the Kings Cross rank which is now on the west of that station (the
internal rank alongside KX platform 1 has been closed for a while. I took a
walk up there last Saturday, and its remarkable how many car drivers didn't
understand the signage, and found themselves in a queue of taxis , with a
double white line on their offside! It looked to me as though taxis for St
Pancras drop off in Pancras Rd, then could loop round under the station
extension, to pick up in Midland Rd, at the west end of the domestic
concourse, and there seems to be another pick up further down for Eurostar.
