Is this the only station with more than one company operating a ticket
office (excluding the Eurostar ticket office for a moment)?

Just next door at Kings Cross, shirley?

I thought there was only one office there, in the Travel Centre? Where is
there another office?

Having been prompted, there's a pair of FCC ticket windows just
"outdoors" [1] from the KX Suburban platforms.

[1] It was really outdoors until a couple of years ago, but I think
they've built a bit of a shelter round it now.

Bought tickets from there the other day to New Barnet. Although it is
FCC, the credit card bill is from NXEC.

Bizarre - coz it is most definitely staffed and run as an FCC ticket
office...

Indeed it's very much indoors now, complete with queuing space.

The old WAGN, now FCC one, by the suburban platforms. That is very much
an alternative location to avoid the need for detours to the main travel
centre. You can buy FCC tickets in the TC can't you?

Ah, yes. It looks as if they need to update
http://www.networkrail.co.uk/aspx/867.aspx#facilities, as it talks only of
machines there, but the map at
http://www.networkrail.co.uk/documen...KingsCross.pdf does seem to
show the other office.

The machines are on the platform ends, between 9 and 10.
