It was a stroke of genius to remove the step-free direct access
from the street to the platforms which made it easy to get
bicycles on and off trains and replace it with steps up and
escalators or steps down!

Surely there still is step-free access from platforms to street
level [Eldon Street]?

Via a very roundabout pedestrian-only route through a shopping arcade,
AIUI. Especially if approaching from Bank, for example.

It's a bit further than the old taxi road if you're approaching Old
Broad Street, but I don't find it too bad. And going through the
shopping arcade brings you out right next to the West Anglia gateline.

There's another level route via the taxi rank (and cycle parking)
between platforms 10 and 11. Though that *is* roundabout if you're
coming from the south.
