TfL recently sent me an email message to tell me that:

I am writing to let you know that after Easter, we will be carrying out
improvement work at King’s Cross St. Pancras Tube station; this is
part of our plans to modernise the Tube. As a result, we are making
changes to the ticket hall and the ticket windows will be permanently
closed.

I got an email today saying that they are now closed.

I went along this morning and found:
- Western office closed, new visitor centre open
- Northern office, two windows open, long queue
- Main office, one window open, long queue

I also noticed separate posters promoting both Oyster and contactless
cards. I wonder if that confuses visitors?

Here's a few pics I took this morning:

Pity you didn't take any pictures of the ticket machine queues. How long
were they?

Short in the western hall. In the other two, it was hard to separate the
queues for the machines and the ticket office open window(s) as they seemed
to run into each other. Basically, the ticket halls were almost full of
queuing people, or their travelling companions waiting for them. So I can't
be sure how long the queues for the machines were.

I'm also unclear if the new visitor centre also sells Tube tickets.
