King's Cross entrance to Underground to close
In message
, at 03:26:25 on Mon, 26 Jan 2009, Mizter T remarked: "This closure is to enable a lift to be installed to provide step-free access from the ticket hall to the Northern line platforms." http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/proj....aspx#entrance It does make sense to avoid having a direct link from the platforms to the surface that would bypass the ticket hall. If you mean "it makes sense not to bypass the barrier line", then that narrows the possibilities regarding where this lift will be installed. In other words, it will have to be somewhere between the barriers and the escalators - which doesn't feel like it's anywhere near the current "landside" stairs that are being closed. However the 'green oval' arrangement you noted earlier might in fact play host to a separate lift that would link the surface to the ticket hall. There's nothing shown on the plans (which I've now found). Indeed it may well be above the escalator down to the Victoria Line, which limits the possibilities of putting anything overhead. -- Roland Perry |
