I'm not sure where I got this from, but I think this exit is currently really an emrgency entry/exit that finds temporary double use as a peaks-only entry/exit; a permanent entry/exit is AIUI somewhere there, maybe even the same location, but rebuilt, altered, whatever. I think it was always intended as a crowding-relief exit. There's going to be a new "Turnmill Street concourse", which amounts to a new corridor connecting the current ticket office to the interchange footbridge via the east side of the station, filling in the gap between the station and the road. There will also be a permanent new entrance, in exactly the same place as the temporary one. The interchange footbridge is permanent, although it will have its canvas canopies removed once they extend the overall roof. U |

I've done some digging and the drawings are available online via Islington's planning site, Case P081483, for anyone interested. I don't think it's possible to link directly to pages within online planning unfortunately. Paul S |
