King's Cross entrance to Underground to close

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 may be missing something, but this is a great pity. *It was so easy to get off an arriving train, and straight down the stairs into the underground. Fom 1 Feb, you have through the often crowded station concourse, out of the front of the station, merge in with everyone else coming into the station, and then down the stairs. All this so a lift can be installed. This seems very contrary. Come 2011/2012 when the new western concourse at King's Cross mainline station opens, then things would be changing anyway. I very much doubt that this entrance would be closing now were it not for these major forthcoming changes to the mainline station which will result in the current concourse disappearing. So what you're missing is the bigger picture of how things are to develop at King's Cross - this is just a stage in those developments. |
