Default Buses from Waterloo to King's Cross (was Eurostar to quit Waterloo)

Vauxhall's fine.

ROFL!

No lifts. No escalators. No disabled access/ Long rickety staircase
that's
so over-crowded you have to wait several minutes to use it in the rush
hour.

At least they have put in a second staircase to platforms 7 and 8 now
which
has made things better.


Not for people on all the various services that stop at the other
platforms!



But I don't use them so that's okay. (That is the attitude we're meant to
take isn't it? Otherwise I can't see why so many people are complaining
about the Eurostar terminal moving all of 1.9 miles across a city with a
very good public transport links.)

If you want flat interchanges then go to Waterloo as normal and get a bus to
Euston (at least three routes IIRC) and walk from there. Or you could walk
to Aldwych and get a direct bus from there. It'll take around 30 minutes
either way.


Why on earth isn't there a direct bus between Waterloo and King's
Cross?! I never even noticed that before. These are arguably the two
most important railway termini. This is especially bad when there isn't
even a direct Tube route between the two.

I guess that the roadworks would foul up the reliability of any buses
serving King's Cross. I hope they extend the 59, 68 or 188 once the
construction works are complete.
