Cross platform at Euston onto the Victoria, cross platform at Oxford
Circus onto the Bakerloo. At Waterloo there's step free access via the
JLE travelator and lifts, then SWT to Wimbledon.

Or via Thameslink at KX/StP (step free in its new location under St
Pancras).

A few boxes overlaid on that drawing would have been useful, I reckon the
entrance to the St Pancras cross passage must be just above the word
'after'
in the title...

I've done a composite, as best I can quickly, which shows it's not
completely to scale: http://www.perry.co.uk/images/kx-composite.jpg

I note that the footbridge in the main trainshed was scheduled to be
removed over Christmas - I haven't been into KX lately so can't say if
this happened or not. It was fun walking over it when it was still
open, it was a distinctly forgotten corner of the station. It only
gave access to platforms 1 and 8 - was this always the case? I also
note that it's being/been taken into storage - any ideas for a new
home for it?

I had read somewhere (but I forget where) that it could end up he

If the result is half as beautiful as St Pancras International then
bring it on. The station redesign is part of a huge regeneration
project north of Kings X, Sainsburies head office is moving to the
site, and St Martins School of Art.

The gasometers that featured in The Ladykillers are going to be
executive flats.

Have you seen those gazometers in Vienna? There's three of them, made
of brick. How did that work?
They are mini-villages, now, and they look fantastic. I believe you
have to be vetted before you can get a flat in one of them.

only from the air - and then only via the magic of the internet:

they really are rather remarkable:

i assume the brick bit was a housing inside which the actual gas tank rose
and fell.

Surprisingly, I don't think this has been posted here yet...

Posters displayed at King's Cross indicate that the entrance to the
Underground from within the main line station concourse - the one
more or less opposite platform 7 - which seems to have been there
for ever, at least within my recollection, is to close permanently
from next Sunday, 1st February.

I was there today and noticed that the closure date has been put back a
week, to 98th February. No explanation was available tonight from Network
rail staff.

I took some pictures today, one of which shows the revised poster, now at

Is that before or after the 12th of Never?

Currently there are few such opportunities. The only other central
access from the north is the Jubilee Line at Westminster and Waterloo,
and then at Stanmore, Wembley Park and Kilburn, but that presumes
you're headed for Westminster. The map marks step-free access from
the sub-surface lines at Kings Cross, which could be boarded from
Wembley Park

If you change to the Met at Finchley Road the whole of the SSR is
available from the Jubilee, including the lifts at Kings Cross, and
cross platform interchange to trains in the other direction.

so presumably a lift to the Northern Line also opens up
interchange at Kings Cross which means you could travel from Woodside
Park to Wimbledon, for example.

Cross platform at Euston onto the Victoria, cross platform at Oxford

(I'll admit I used the journey planner to discover this. It's
surprisingly good at it)
