Default Northern line lift at King's Cross

The old Northern Line lift shafts are to the west of the new lift, and
according to Clive Feather's website there is an older emergency lift
(which is most likely to be in that vicinity). I wonder if this is a
connecting passageway to that emergency lift.


It isn't at all unlikely that there are unsigned links for use by the
maintenace staff of the fire brigade. Who knows what is provided for at
lower levels connected to the surface emergency access - I don't recall
ever seeing details of the 'back of house' at lower levels in any of the
many drawings I've found, or have been linked to here...


Doesn't Euston famously have some whole unused levels in its stack? And i
don't mean the parcel depot above the platforms!
