It's all fine and wonderful if the ECML is a faux airline and KGX a
faux airline terminal, but commuter trains in the main shed are not
going to be a good fit.

I wonder if I'm the only person who hasn't already firmly settled on
the view that the new KX is going to be a complete disaster?!

It's all a bit curate's egg. While it's nice to revert to the original
shed, without extensions to the front, that has resulted in most
passenger arrivals being a very long way from anywhere useful (given
that the overbridge is one-way, departures only).

The northern ticket hall gives a very useful shorter route to the
northern line platforms, and is OK for the Piccadilly, but a disaster
for the Victoria. From the country end of platforms 0-7, to the Northern
ticket hall (or St Pancras), is a *very* long walk.

On the other hand, if you are departing, the new National Rail ticket
hall is close to the Northern/Piccadilly (and St Pancras), and a very
short distance to all platforms, 0-11.
