IMO yes , but for another reason - KX thameslink used to be a
convenient interchange with the tube. Not any more. Now for the sake
of the small number of people who'll travel down from luton or bedford
to get the eurostar , thousands of rush hour commuters are now faced
with a 400 metre hike. Genius.

As someone who has the misfortune to have to undergo this hike twice a day,
every day, I cd not agree more. Not only is it a 400m hike, in order to get
to work I now have to go through two ticket barriers and dodge lost and
bemused tourists, people nattering on their mobiles, emailing on their
blackberries or families dragging humungeous suitcases who because they are
on holidays are in no particular rush . The flows of people have not been
properly planned and there are several places where human currents going in
opposite directions intersect with the consequent shoving, pushing and
dodging. It may be a beautiful building but for its heaviest users, the
commuters, it is an unholy mess and a nightmare, it is by far the most
stressful part of my day. I hate it.
