St.Pancras is not a railway station but a shopping complex (with almost
incidentally a few railway stations scattered around the periphery).
This is the only explanation of the fact that the two upper-level
stations and the lower-level (Thameslink) one are so far away from each
other and all the tube lines.

I agree. I've seen the morning wave of commuters marching south along
the main shopping aisle (from the FCC and EMT stations to the western
ticket hall) and it just seems such a waste of time and energy that all
those people have to march all that way.
