King's Cross entrance to Underground to close
In message
, at 04:42:06 on Mon, 26 Jan 2009, Mizter T remarked: The other possibility is that there will be a way to walk around the southern (buffer-end) exits from platforms 1-8 within the station (i.e. under cover) to get round to the western concourse and hence the entrance to the Tube station. This is surely highly likely, as I rather doubt that the buffer-end exits would literally deposit people straight off the train and through the doors into the street. They are currently widening the circulating area inside the "old building" by moving all the buffers about half a carriage-length north, and eventually covering the resulting footprint with a pedestrianised area. This will give a "corridor" from the platform ends westwards to the new National Rail ticket concourse. But when they did a study of the passenger flows at the revamped station, one of the major issues was congestion at the platform-end exits, when it was raining. This seems to assume that most passengers would be heading across the new open air plaza, maybe to the bus stops, or the current "outdoor" entrance to the tube - especially if heading for the Circle Line I think. -- Roland Perry |
